What happens here

Construct the roof structure for the covered patio, including rafters, sheathing, and roofing materials. Build the exterior walls of the addition, framing them out and adding plywood sheathing. This stage transforms the open deck frame into a functional, protected outdoor room.

Goal: Enclose and protect the covered patio with a roof and exterior walls.
