As you can see, the stairwell going upstairs was quite dark.
As you come up into the half-story, you can see that there is very little light. There's just one window at each gabled end and one small window at the end of the back ell. The window you see in this picture is the window to our future master bath. The large open room in the foreground is our future master bedroom. Walk-in closet is off to the right.
This is looking towards the east end of the house. The proposed dormer will be going in on the right side of this photo - the south side of the house. Notice the limited floor space on right side of stairwell. Also, the window you see in this picture will be the window in our future home office.
This is after they took the ridge of the roof line out to make room for new support beam.
Once the beam was in, the roof was removed to install shed dormer. This is me taking the first swing.
They moved fast as it was their goal to get the dormer up in one day.
Stairs are illuminated.
Dormer framing up! Look at all the extra floor space and ceiling height!
New Marvin windows. We put six, six over one double-hungs in new dormer.
Over the course of the next several weeks, came insulation, electrical, drywall and paint.
