Prairie

I planted a prairie on the back slope of the lot, comprised of native plants and wildflowers.  The cosmos are coming in beautifully.

Roofing Installation

Tapered insulation mechanically fasted with screws to the roof deck.

Roofing membrane lapped 6" and heat welded at the seams.

Flue for wood stove

Installed through ceiling in living room.  Important to get the chimney flue up through the roof prior to the roof installation.

Roof Deck

3/4" tounge and groove OSB roof deck.  Deck complete with 3 tiers to step to lowest section over the garage.  Stepping the structure, along with tapered roof insulation will help move the water off the roof.

Roof parapet walls

Framing of roof parapet walls, this is a good view showing the stepped roof height.

Roof Joists

Roof joists are up in the living area.  This shot gives you feel for the massive first floor opening to the outside.  Truss joists are 12" deep and 24" on center.
