Project Second Floor

I am on a roll today, might as well keep going and get caught up.
We started on the second floor a while back and this is now something that I need to get done as Baby H's entry to this construction sight is nearing. I figured I would start with the tour of the second floor, this is the last time you will see it like this as it no longer exists.









 There is actually a dormer behind the wall in the picture below. You will see it later.

 Cacky takes the first swing! Cooper assists.
 In between this photo above and the photo below Mark and Derrick were brought it assist in demolition

If you don't have a Dan Allen, you should probably get one. They are usually located in to the tool isle at Home Depot.
One full dumpster. 
Cacky gets her new mom mobile, might as well break it in at the Hope Depot.
Time to start raising the ceiling to a true 8ft.
Hey, there's that dormer, why were you covered?
Even the studs that were there needed to be taken out and replaced as nothing was square. You can't have anything that's not square if Dan Allen is involved. One day hopefully in a very long time when Dan is no longer with us I will make sure he is laid to rest with a 6ft level next to him.
 The framing is mostly done, the roof beams have been leveled. The lighting has been mounted and electrical is about 50% done.
These last 2 pictures were taken this morning so there is where things actually sit. I am actually looking forward to insulation and sheet rock! The may be because I am considering spray foam which someone else would have to do.

  1. The standard builder's solution would be to seal around the outside using silicone. NSW Synthetic Surfaces
