Infill Housing #13

Forgive my lack of updates. Of course, the site at #79 looks a lot different now. Over these past few months I have heard about a few specific problems, related to this build, but I am reluctant to publish them. Instead I will provide a photo update.

With the walls up, the roof trusses were dropped into place.


Even in winter, you can appreciate why we are hoping that the tree in front of #77 survives. With just a little snow on its branches, it provides a lovely visual screen.

So by this point we knew what the final size of this project would be. A city inspector checked the height. It complies with the height restriction  for our area, which is 11 metres.




Of course, there has been a steady parade of trucks of one kind or another.

How many of these road cuts will our block have, as infills are built up and down the street?

With the roof on and windows installed, work has shifted to the inside of these structures.
Too bad they don't match. If they were both going to be a more traditional design, like the right side,  that would be easier on the eyes.
