November house addition update

Ok, well its been a crazy hectic month between the day job, side jobs and trying to keep progress moving on the house addition before the cold weather really sets in!! But things are looking pretty good, the addition is all framed! The roof was a stressful project, cutting into the old roof to tie in the new roof and then get it all done before any big rain or snow storms, and mother nature worked with me pretty well, got it all sealed up before any nasty weather. The roof has the osb decking down and  tar paper laid out and its all been covered with tarps for the winter, hopefully sometime in the spring I can finish the roof, getting cold and the materials are way out of my budget!
So now I'm on to getting the side walls sealed up with osb sheathing so that I can hopefully get it all enclosed and do some work inside this winter.
