During the summer of 2020, during COVID, we decided to isolate ourselves at the camp and build a porch onto the Lodge here at Wit's End.
Framing the Walls
Because of a miscommunication between the designer (Kate) and the grunt (Lee) had to incorporate steel in the top plate to meet the snow load requirement.
Rafters Installed
Kate was the driving force for the skylights.
Custom Soffit Vents
Not my idea. Guess whos?
Roof
Quickly learned that we are now too old to be climbing on roofs.
Siding
Not my first choice of material but fast. Note we put a screen in as a test to see if we liked the Snapp screen system.
Hearth
This is all Kate. My only involvement was cutting the blocks when needed.
Stone
Loved this product. Its called Versetta Stone. Very easy to install.
Cedar
Lots and lots of cedar. Note the sill. Its one continuous 20 foot long piece of cedar.
Wood Stove
This stove is made by Vermont Castings.
We really love it. Puts out nice heat.
