Windows and a Patio Roof


We had two days of rain this week, and the framers had to spend one whole day cutting bracing and working to attach the old foundation to the new foundation. It was important work, but it is all under the plywood so there is no picture of all the progress they made. On Thursday and Friday they worked really hard, though, and put in most of the windows and framed the porch roof over the back patio. They also started preparations for moving the wall in the kitchen. Once they finish putting the beam in the ceiling to take that load and build the new wall, they can fill in the hole in the ceiling and connect the old and new parts at the top instead of just at the bottom. They also need to install the back doors.

The windows look great. The picture below is the huge bank of windows that will be on the south wall of the kitchen.



Here you can see the two big windows in the south wall of the family room.



The patio roof looks nice too. In the top picture, you can see it finished as viewed from the front porch of the casita. Below you can see it in progress:
