We are excited to announce that Work on the second floor of the garage has officially begun!! Plans have been made to reinforce, insulate, and replace the floors upstairs. The replacement staircase have been designed and we are in work mode during this last week of 2013! After measuring, the boys went and got lumber to reinforce the existing roofline. This will help protect the roof from snow loads. We were pleased to find that with all of the snow and rain that it is still dry upstairs. My job included -trying to- pull out nails out of the wood with my handy hammer (2nd time I used it!). This was harder than I thought! Therefore, I settled with the cleaning crew role of collecting the nails that they took out. Next, we will need to insulate the roof. Right now, it's pretty drafty. Last fall we had to remove all the old layers of insulation--grossest job ever! This year we will add fresh insulation to keep the loft area warm and toasty! Here are some pictures.
How exciting! It will be such a cozy loft space! :)
