Dormer Windows

We completed the dormer roof truss and nailed it in place over the southside dormer window. We had to start the lower roof so we would have a place to stand while we installed the dormer roof.

This is the view from the inside of the treehouse looking up through the dormer window. As you can see there is a 2 X 4 and part of the roof plywood in the way of viewing out the window from the inside. We will have to fix that, but not today.

The view out the front dormer is better, but some of the plywood will still have to be removed. I'll worry about that tomorrow.

The treehouse is starting to actually take shape. We still have a lot to do but it's really coming together. We got the front dormer window framed out and half of the roof plywood in place.

We also got the sideside dormer window started. But, we still have to figure out how we are going to do the roof over the top of it. The window is actually even with the top roof line, so this may be tricky.

Our work is slow going because of having to climb up onto the trusses to get the job done, this balancing act is only going to get worse as the roof progresses.

Doesn't look like we got a lot accomplished today, but it took a lot of time and brain power trying to figure out just how to do everything. We need to make sure we don't have to take something apart and redo it, especially at these heights.

The sun is setting on our day's work.
