More Gable

Framed and installed the siding for the inside porch gable. We had more high winds, gust up to 40 mph, so those plywood panels were acting like sails in the wind. It is hard to tell from this angle, but I incorporated Frank Lloyd Wright cantilever design for the gable end framing.

Framed The Porch Gable

The above photo shows all the beams are framed.
The inside porch gable is now framed. Next I have to panel the front and back gable inside, then I will put up the siding on the gable rafters.
Just another photo showing the gable. I'm pooped!
