Before		After

Disassembling the old 'temporary tent' base

The tent has become a new
roof for the water system

03/05/06: to begin, dig the footings

Aluminium feet for the new frame

Four footings


Cutting the rear wall frame		The side walls are roughed in

Cutting the front wall frame	The dormer floor will need to be dropped in before the roof is framed	The rear wall turned out to be a bit out of alignment

The top plates are screwed in	and they are extended to support the end rafters	Framing a window into the left wall

The wall framing, 3 of the ceiling joists, and the dormer floor are in	03/19/06: two weeks into the job	Working out rafter angles and ridge position to allow for head room and window





		The holes are puttied; soon to be sanded



Making sure these shingles will withstand the powerful winds	This roof will also need to carry some solar panels later on	Shaved the edges so they won't cut into the roofing

	Breaking off to add spacers between wall studs. This is how I cut short pieces.	These blocks keep the ladder away from the roof's edge
