The house exterior nearing completion

The framing crew made great progress today! First, they finished the roof trusses and then put on the roof sheathing. They also put on a strip of waterproof material along the drip edge. At the same time other workers were framing in the window openings, removing the braces used to support the internal and exterior walls, and built the temporary staircase for access to the basement without going outside. After finishing work on the roof, some of the crew built the structure over the front porch.
