Breaking Ground

 

 

August 3, 2007

Footings dug and poured, all materials delivered for foundation.

 

 

August 9, 2007

All block work complete, brick facing has been put on most areas that will not be covered by porches, the foundation should be completed tomorrow.

August 12, 2007

 

There was a problem with the measurements regarding the foundation, so the masons have had to come back and fix the areas that were not right. This will set us back a little.

The framers started today!

The framers have been extremely busy! I love being able to see the rooms and how the flow of the house is going to be. The back porch is probably my favorite area, I am so pleased with the look of the posts and beams. The girls love running up and down the attic stairs. They should start the roof rafters today- the scaffolding they have built is where the roof peak will be.

Roof and dormers framed out. The framing crew is run by Bobby Guy, and every time I go look at the house I am amazed at how much they have accomplished and how great it looks.

Early this morning, they did most of this work yesterday- dormers are fitted with rafters and beadboard, attic finished off, roof felt is down. They are starting on the porch rafters today and are already hard at work.
