This is the list of significant events in the construction of the Double Luck Farm House during September, 2000.

2 September, 2000

Framing the roof

In spite of the brutal drought and heat wave of the summer of 2000, framing work continues. As seen in this photo, the rafters for the main roof are nearly complete, including the two front dormers. Framing is now in progress for the porch roof.

Kitchen space

Inside, because of the sheathing on the exterior walls, ones begins to get a sense of space for the rooms on the first floor. This view looks across the kitchen space into the dining area.

Framing the second floor

The second floor also shows considerable progress. In this photo, taken from bedroom #2, we look through the "wall" into the office and studio areas. Across from the opening for the stairs is the upstairs bath. Beyond those (and through another "wall") is bedroom #3.

It can be difficult to get an unobstructed view of the roof. But we like it that way!
