Sleeping Porch & more

We've had a lot of great progress recently! We passed our electrical inspection!!! Started the sleeping porch deck, installed the interior stairs and began the HVAC installation. Everything's moving right along and it feels wonderful!

 

Here's some progress on the sleeping porch. Jesse is laying the sleepers in the opposite direction of TPO slope to make the deck level. Lots of math.

Sanding!

Jesse shoring up the connection between the folding door header and the PSL column. Our structural engineer came out last week for the framing pre-inspection and gave us a checklist to make the structure even stronger.

Thanks Colby for helping Jesse fabricate this piece!!

Stairs!

The interior stairs were installed last week! And they look fantastic. They're steel stairs with  wood stringers. We're still deciding what to do with the exterior stairs, prefab, steel, wood?

Beautiful stair landing. From this landing you'll access the main bedroom to the north and the nursery to the west

INTERIOR STAIRS!!!
The treads are temporary, reused from the construction steps, but the look will be very similar. I love them!!
