Framing!

We are off to a great start and step 3 is Framing. I am amazed at how fast this step is going. We are using micro-lam to span the 20 foot face of the room to preserve the view. The beams will be wrapped between 10-12 inches and we are still deciding on the roof and ceiling materials.

Here is another photo of the open front where the micro-lam is spanning 20 feet!

Here is a link to Part 1 and Part 2:

Charles, what is your time estimate and how long have you been at it? It does look like it is taking a nice shape.

Charles, you had an excellent idea. Is this room going to be mostly windows? What type did you decided on? Will the french doors stay? Awesome project!

Charles - That deck is now history and you have made good progress with the new structure.  Can't wait for next step.
