100 Yorktown Begins To Show Its Roof Line Personality

The most notable observation this week is the framers have begun to work on the finer details of the Appleton Chase roof.  On Monday and Tuesday of this week, they worked building the roofline of the covered front porch.  Rafters were placed to finish out the roof over the right half of the house.  They also put the rafters in above the keeping room.  Next came the gabled dormer in the bonus room above the garage.  We received more rain for the later half of Wednesday.   The gabled dormer above the great room was completed on Thursday.  

About the only major portion of roof not completed yet is the roof over the covered porch.  

The visit late Thursday showed that a next stage is soon to start based on the stack of sheathing board they have staged upstairs.  More sheathing board also was delivered to the site.
