The Holidays have passed and I am ready to start the next project which should be the last for the house. After this the only project I will have left is the garage. The pictures you see are of the attic above the kitchen and laundry room. Back in november I added skylights and it was for this project, I didn't want to be putting them in during the winter. So far I have extended all the roof rafters and reinforced the structure. All of the roof ventilation has been put in and electrical is started. Electrical is going to take some time as most of the feeds from the main electrical box cross this area, and I need to move all of them in order to remove the ceiling eventually. My plan is to do all of the work on the new ceiling with removing the old one. I figure it will allow me to easily reach everything and keep the construction mess out of the living area for now. I am working fast as it is January and insulation is a priority due to how cold it is up in the attic.
