Framing Begins
After a couple weeks of almost no activity (other than port-a-potty deliveries), we finally saw some progress. Our first load of lumber was delivered late last week....really early in the morning. The guy actually rang the doorbell while I was still in bed.
Some of the loads were simple to get to the back with the delivery "spider", but a few of the really long ones required some outside the box thinking. Our builders' son came by and used the tractor to help drag the long stuff through the gate.
Samantha and I carefully inspected the delivery. We determined that we could build one heck of a tree house, but decided to leave it to the professionals.
The first wall! The framing crew was supposed to start on Monday but didn't actually make it until Tuesday...but they called! That's all I think most people really ask: If you aren't going to do what you say you're going to do, just call! I was fine with that and they did a great job when they did show up.
In one day they managed to get a large portion of the main floor up. It's finally starting to look like a house and you can actually walk around from room to room. Very cool!
Samantha, of course, doing her official inspection. She approved - but has decided we need to remove half of a walk-in closet to make a room bigger. I'll let the guys know in the morning.
