Another Cold Day

Today it was a one man job day, at least that is what Ben was told when he showed up today alone. He put in a brace above the top part of the veranda rafter that was secured to the wall studs, and then he doubled up the stud for more support, so it will hold up a bit of snow. This roof will be cleaned off quickly anyway with my roof rake because I don't want the snow up around the windows. As well today he added insulation to the underside of our little bump put to keep it from becoming a cold spot and started with the soffets under the new veranda, for this part help came out. Over all a good day.

You can see the rafters are supported on a sill beam.

The rafters are secured to the studs.

Studs doubled up and braces added.

Well insulated and sealed.

Looks better already.
