The lumber selected for the project is beautiful! It is all smooth cedar beams, from 8”x 10” to 4” x 4,” laced together to create the look on the underside of the structure. Staining prior to installation will make it much easier to have only touch-ups to the cut ends of the lumber on completion.
The 8” x 10” ridge beam is set into place and a mid-span 8” x 10” beam is installed to tie the perimeter of the structure together. The ends and middle horizontal beams will have an upright member and angled members creating three trusses to support the ridge beam.
The exterior walls and dividing wall of the screen porch and enclosed porch are now being removed in preparation for the new sunroom framing.
Rain and heat have been an obstacle this week in getting the wood finished and starting the framing.
This is part of an ongoing remodeling project administrated by Donna Kirsopp, design consultant.
