Framing Continues
I'm not going to type on and on about this tonight, but here's a pictorial quickie of the progress last week. Every Monday somebody comes and pumps out the port-a-potties. I still have no idea why we have two, and no idea what it's costing me, but the service seems to be good at least.
After getting the initial lower floor framing up the guys seemed to go to work on details. They framed in all the windows and doors and put in all of the metal connectors that are required by code. They also framed in this half bath that's in the garage. You may assume that this was my idea, but you would be wrong. Branelle pushed for this one (I hadn't even thought about it). I think she is planning on this being a pool bath.
After they finished all of the ceiling joists, they headed upstairs...even before they had built stairs. The first thing they did was start constructing all of these weird platforms and beams and ladders. It was confusing at first. Turns out they were building work areas so they could reach what they needed to when putting the roof up. Very cool!
They put in all of the 2nd story sub-flooring and headed up from there.
They finally got around to building the stairs. I'm guessing they wish they hadn't done this because it made it a lot easier for me to drop by.
The roof and second story went up shockingly quick. You leave in the morning, come back in the afternoon and BOOM!
They continued the roof line but also started framing up the 2nd story space. These guys got to this point in nine days of work! Our framers are rock stars!!
