"Wood and Steel" may not be an original title, but it is a descriptive one.
Our plan has been to attach a wooden section to the metal frame--both increasing floor size and making the whole building a bit more organic. This 8' x 40' addition will have a bank of north-facing windows, and benches along that north wall to take advantage of glare-free light. And, get a nice view of the back yard as a bonus. Here, Eric and Jonathan are attaching ledger boards to the eave strut. You can see the framing for those north windows:
And to the ledger boards, rafters are nailed for a shed roof:
Add some plywood decking:
Then some 30# felt, and it's starting to look like an enclosed space:
Time to start on the side walls. Plywood sheathing has been nailed up, and next comes the vapor barrier:
Which enables the crew to install the west-facing window:
This was most welcome. With our window in place, we can open it up for some fresh air...it was getting rather stuffy in there.
