New Framing Crew.

A new framing crew was brought in to finish up the second floor and roofing system.  Jay's roofing design had everyone very impressed and they needed his help with how to build certain portions of it.

- Raising the Walls!! November



 They worked 7 days a week when the weather cooperated to build the wall and flooring system throughout the house.


 
 
 









A metal beam was placed between the basement and first floor.

I'm standing where the bathtub will be placed.  The view from the window overlooks the 5 acres of our wooded area.

- Arrival of Trusses & Wood for Walls / Floors - November






                                                       Trusses for the first and second floor.


- Additional Block Walls - November

They continued to add block walls as Max (who belongs to Patrick our neighbor a few blocks away) monitored the progress.



 
Max also enjoyed the occasional cookie shared by the workers!
