Wnybassman's Sugar House Project

It was supposed to rain today so we decided not to open the roof to finish the cupola. Other than the brief shower early in the morning, it never rained a drop. Finished up a lot of the other framing though. Have not boxed in the windows yet because I don't have any yet. lol Looking for some used or otherwise cheap windows.

Got the cupola framed up this morning before some rain came through. Decided to let the ridge board run through.







Had a pretty decent week to work on this despite the heavy rain forecast the last few days. Got more done that I thought I would on my week off. Should be able to peck away at it the rest of the summer pretty easily.

I found some used windows on Craigslist the other day and they seem to fit the shack very well. Tonight after work I was able to get the openings framed in and the windows installed.

The roof steel is being delivered Monday.

Decided to get started on the roofing today and got the cupola done. I just tacked the ridge cap up there, I want to find somebody around here with a heavy enough brake to take it to 90º. I should have ordered the pieces that way, but it was an oversight.

Is there a reason not to have a vented ridge on the cupola?

Things have been a bit stagnant here for a couple weeks on the actual building. That should change soon though. Going to Jim's tomorrow to pick up the siding/trim package and will be taking Friday off from work to finish the steel roof, it's about half done. Today I headed off a rafter and cut out the plywood for the area the stack will go through. Needed to do that before the steel goes over that area. Over the weekend I finished hand digging more of the bank out behind the shack and my buddy has been working on the stone wall the last couple days.

With the weather feeling more like October around here the past few days, it's kinda lighting a fire under me again. Summer will slip away before I know it.

Finished the roof today. Onward to siding tomorrow or Wednesday after work.

I'll get a better picture with better lighting later.

I have a couple days to work on things and decided to put some siding up today. Got most of the boards up by days end. Just a few more to go. I left the boards long over the porch area thinking I might do something decorative there.
