Is this...right?

 

Hmmm.  So we came to the construction site the other day and found this little connundrum.  Um, Philip?  What's this?  Of course, there was a perfectly reasonable explanation. The framers framed the wall before they put up the rafters, and are going to remove the part that sticks out now that they know where the slope of the roofline falls.  It was all part of the master plan (and all according to the plans!) it just looked funny when we saw it.  Thank goodness for a builder who is available to answer all of our many, many questions and is on the job so he knows exactly what we're talking about!

 

Now for some more images of the rafters going up...

 

Ahhhh, the beautiful symmetry.

 

Going UP

 

John has a picture that he takes from the back of the garage toward the front of the house.  He takes it often to watch how the home is progressing.  I'll post a series of those in the next few days.  This will be my recurring shot, as it will be a place where I'll spend a lot of time.  This is standing in the kitchen looking toward the dining and living rooms, taken on Dec. 10.

 

And here you can see the second story being framed.  The kids can hardly stand the wait until they can go up and check out their rooms!
