Tops and Bottoms

Roof in Progress

The roof is up! Remarkable what a shiny new top will do to a house. Our hope was to find tin resembling the color of tarnished copper turned green (reminiscent of Paris rooftops). No such luck so we went with a light blue instead. Check it out – a sky emulating lid; house wrapped and ready for siding:

The underpinning was created out of scrap tin lying around – another way to save money and recycle materials on hand.

Here’s a step back for a peek at the framing under the tin underpinning and also the cinder block piers built to raise the house a foot in order to keep one of the foundation beams off the dirt.
