Had a good day today. We got the bulk of the sheathing up.
Our good neighbor D took the 12X12 column that Landlady and M picked up, sanded it, cut it to length, and routered it to fit the bracket on the porch. In this way, instead of having a 10X10 with a really ugly bracket on the bottom, the column can perfectly fit the concrete pad and – with a little finagling – make the bracket completely go away because it’ll be inset into the wood.
We covered the lower part of three walls, and most of the roof. The roof will have a parapet all the way around. Once the gingerbread and stucco are in place, it’ll look kinda-sorta tex-mex.
