All Framed Up

It's been a busy few weeks, so I am behind with my updates, but the framing is complete!  

Starting with the oldest first!   

I enjoyed watching the workers wrap the house, then cut the holes for the windows and adding the window flashing.

The next visit, the house was complete wrapped, and some of the windows are in.  

The most recent visit, the front porch roof has been framed, the houses wrapped, windows in, and the stairs inside were built.  

Inside pictures next time!  I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Framing is coming along

Thankfully Hubs and I voted earlier in the day, not just because the lines were long after work, but because it's getting dark so early now that daylight savings time has ended.  We raced up to the site directly after work.

We didn't have much time out on the site, and the workers were still there.

The framing is coming along and the house is really starting to take shape.

Framing the 2nd floor

I was thrilled to discover that the builders were able to start the framing of the 2nd floor, despite the 3 days of rain from Hurricane Sandy.

Framing 1st floor

We were pleasantly surprised to find the framing had begun!

Foundation week 2

Foundation is done!

Footers and Foundations

The following week we saw the Footers being poured.

Then the foundation getting built.

Clearing the Land

After meeting with the construction manger about where the house would sit on the property, and how much land to clear, we returned to the home site to see the land cleared.

Here the land has been cleared, but the trees have not been cleared.

The next visit the land and trees had been cleared.
