   Our little house has an attic. Our family has some helpful relatives. Thank you Tony, Meghan and Marley.  Tony took on his assistant Dexter and together built this for Dexter. I was crew #3C with props to Dexter's buddy, Sebastian for lending a hand on one 90+degree day.  It was an amazing week leading to an amazing transformation.  So much hard work in a short amount of time interrupted only by meals, sleep and the very important Hulk and the Agents of SMASH breaks.  Priming, painting and decorating to finish but the hard work, complete.  Tony, we can't thank you enough for helping get Dexter to his dream place. The transformation is amazing.

work done on the hottest day of the year....

moving the access stairs to another spot in the kitchen

A lot of bracing needed to be put in to add additional support to the room, and this isn't shown sufficiently in these photos

Whew. That's a lot of photos of a room, pieces of lumber, beams, windows and hard working folks. So here's a brief intermission. Our scheduled programming will return right after.  Here's my question:
Hey P, do you think Uncle Brian is funny?

Aw, c'mon!

insulation leaves a lot of steel fibers that make for very itchy, scratchy clothes

additional window in front. Tony cut out two spots for windows, one here in front and the large window in back. The spot in back was also used to bring in all the wood

Maria and Dexter observe this amazing room

Cousins, student and teacher.  A very good week!!!
