This Shed Dormer turned out better than expected. Of course its not complete. We still need to finish the walls and tie it into the roof. But the framing looks great. At first while I was designing it I thought three windows would be nice. Let lots of light in to the great room and the loft. But as it morphed into a balcony with two windows and a door I am thrilled at the design. Jack and Sharon at the Onalaska Log Building School took a look a few days ago and agree that it turned out well. Tyler has been a HUGE help since August 15. Thanks Ty!
Things are really starting to go UP here! We are getting close to the height of our second floor so we will be setting our joyce beams across the east and west walls in order to set our Joyce logs for our LOFT.Â
