Dormer ConstructionDormer construction has been around for a long time. They can come in many sizes. They can significantly alter a look of a roof line and hence the entire building. I built this one for a cottage a few years back. The owners used this space as a bedroom. We needed to build this space in order to get enough room to actually make a bedroom.

View from exterior. This is the lake side of the cottage. Starting the framing.
How do you like the old ladder we found at this cottage. What can I say, it worked!

This was done in November. Glad the weather held out for us.
