When you gonna stop by here and do mine?
 
I can as soon as this ones done but it aint cheap! Theres a lot of work that goes into an addition like this one.
 
Will you have to raise that chimney?

Looks like a great framing job there.

More pics? Thanks Woodracing, what are you doing on the interior and that TALL ceiling?
 
I dont have any more pics at this point but I will post more this weekend. The tall ceiling will be vaulted.
 
Looks good Mark, what are you planning on using the additional space for?
 
It's a customers house not mine. He's makin it a man cave.
 
Mark, What are the room dimensions, this looks close to the sunroom addition I built several years back.

A "Man Cave" nice, real nice. Mine has turned into a cave for grandkids toys and stuff. They do have a great time there.

I see a nice black mobile tool box parked by the addition. Is that yours? Can you post up a picture?
 
The dimensions are 26'x16' and te ceiling will be vaulted it is about 18' to the highest point in the ceiling. and yes that mobile tool box is mine! I love it I cant imagine ever working without one again it saves me atleast 2 hours a day just on load and unload time and everything is always there. There are some pics of it in the Garage Registry.
 
Mark does that room drop down from the house finish floor level?

My sun room addition had a 4 inch drop.
 
Why does the new roof come down lower then existing?
 
Yes it is lower The homeowner already had the material so I hade to use what he had I really needed 10' studs so I could cut them to length because the patio that I built on was about 4" lower than the slab that the house was built on. he got 8' studs for free so he wanted to use them.
 
Hey Mark, looking good.

Tell us what the "upstairs room" is all about. Is it part of the original house? Looks like you could have some attic storage there also.
 
yes I built the upstairs room in the attic of the original house it will be a bed room as you can see i did a built in entertainment center that will be finished in sheetrock and the shelf/inside area will be lined with wood of some sort and proably stained, most of the ceiling is flat except on the sides there is a few feet of slope or vaulted area.
