The final wall frames were put in today, creating the Master Bedroom upstairs with en-suite Bathroom.
This was taken from what will be the bathroom, which has a door only to the bedroom.
It’s just wide enough to enter the bed from the side. The bedframe I will make myself,
from the cedar that is still left. It’s been extremely cold for Texas standards;
tonight we will have frost (23 Fahrenheit or -5 Celsius). The gaps still open in the ceiling,
make for a fresh breeze on top of the already low temperature. Luckily the Ikea comforter keeps me warm.
The guest bedroom downstairs is much warmer, thanks to insulation and heating/airco.
Just a week ago it was 82F (28C) during the day. Like they say; If you don’t like Texas weather,
wait an hour.
I managed to find a solution for the ceiling also; the lap sided boards will go across on the 2×4’s
The originally 2×6 originally keeping the roof edge in place has been cut to 2×4 at the end,
so the roof can continue from the log wall all the way up and over. The top of the Rafter will become storage space.
We told you it gets cold in Texas. Besides the saying “..Wait an hour…” it is also said that there is nothing between Texas and the North Pole but a barbed wire fence. However, just wait for your first Blue Norther and then you will know cold.
Darn, I thought what we had was a Blue Northern!
