Gable end walls got built yesterday,

The original exterior wall which is now an exterior wall again,  received some fiberglass insulation.

Finally, exterior sheathing was installed on the back wall.

Rain for three days delayed the plywood sheathing going on the rafters.  Plastic stapled to the rafters on Tuesday kept things quite dry.

Today however, after a morning rain shower, we got it done.  Photos of the process are below.

Rafters done,  but no plywood yet.
Light rain starting and scheduled to continue tomorrow, so we put up plastic and will continue Thursday or Friday as weather permits.

Rafters going on.  Hoping for plywood on Tuesday.

Today we ripped the roof off, we removed the walls, and Rob began framing a short wall with a double 2X4 sill plate for the rafters to rest on.
      Tomorrow is Easter, so we will resume on Monday.  Hopefully rafters decking and ice/water shield will happen on Monday.  I'm tired as hell, but here's a few photos of todays progress.

     Demo day today.  Me and Rob gutted the addition down to the studs.  All the windows are out, electric is disconnected & removed,  and the radiators are gone.

    Next week we remove the roof and walls, and hopefully begin framing the new rafters for the sloped roof.

      We found some cool original framing in what was originally the exterior wall.
There are four huge 4" X  8"  beams with notched diagonal studs coming out on the sides.

It was a long winter, but it is over.
   Next weekend, Rob and I will make the lumber shopping list and begin stripping off the siding and cut out the second floor windows.

I'll take the camera along and photograph the process.
