Week 24: April 10 - 16

Week 24 I'm back to working on the dormer shed. I have the window RO and wall framing for the dormer in place.

And here I have the wall braced off now and have installed the ridgeboard. It connects from the main ridgeboard to the dormer frame and creates the peak of the dormer.

Securely braced the ridgeboard where it is attached to the dormer frame. As it is not meeting up against another ridge and there is not a lot of material coming into contact with this ridge to keep it in place, it was very important to securely anchor it with a steel plate and screws.

Where the secondary ridge intersects with the main ridgeboard.

Starting to put sheathing in place.

Ledgers underneath the top most sheathing, helps to keep the sheathing from falling into the dormer opening.

Sheathing is in place and helping to hold the dormer frame secure. Starting to install the side walls of the dormer. Cutting angled wall plates, for the top and bottom.

Front most stud is in place.

The remaining studs installed, all bottoms were cut at an angle, in agreement with the pitch of the roof.
