Roof Joists



The framers got another break in the weather and have the roof joists on. Now we can get a feel for how the covered porches will be. They are not doing trusses, so I will have a lot of storage upstairs. We also plan to use sprayed in foam insulation. It gets sprayed directly underneath the roof decking and joists. This creates an air tight seal in the attic and allows temperature controlled storage. It costs about $1500 more than blown in insulation but should be worth it over time.

  1. The top photo looks backward to me. I thought the front door was on the right side. At least it is looking like a home with it's new roofing started~!

  2. The top photo is not the front of the house. That is the west wall of the house where the deck is.
