House Day 32 - Framed the Gables - Put in AC Ducts

The attic room will be 60 x 20 x 10 - with two windows on each end.

Wednesday - Now that the house is closed in - weather can't beat us. It is so much nicer working in the shade. Gary and Joe were framing out the gable ends. We are delighted with the spacing. The sides of the home have 6 windows - two up top and four downstairs. The windows are stacked one over the other.

The AC men were busy constructing ducts and then insulating them. It looks like one more day of AC work.

This is the major supply air duct. A vertical duct goes to each room from it. 

This is the north gable end. Someone looking into one end of the attic would be able to see out the other end - no walls - the windows lined up.

Lulu's focal piece of the house will be this see-thru fireplace. This is the view from the front door. The hearth will be raised so the fire can be seen from the living room on the east and the dining room on the west. In the dining room - the table will have the fireplace at one end and a window at the other end. 

This is a view of the fireplace from the back door. While sitting at the dining table - one can look through the fireplace and see the street. People on the street will be able to see the fire - if the shutters are open. Lulu is planning to cover the fireplace with stacked stone - this fireplace is her baby.
