Day 2 of Framing

 

Lumber! I love it. My father was a carpenter and I have fond memories of the smell and feel of lumber. I even drew pictures on his lumber scraps. This photo was taken standing at the NE corner of the house. You can see the home of our neighbors Marci and Ken to the South. They are about three months ahead of us in the building process. The change of direction of the floor joists in the great room is where the fireplace will be.

This photo is looking North and gives an idea of how our house sits in comparison to our North neighbors, Marlene and Matt.

These pillars look like free standing space modules (if you read my previous post) but actually they are the supports for the sky bridge that connects the second story of our house to the second story of Jay's garage. Torrential downpour this morning so we have standing water on the new garage cement slab and lots of lovely mud. Click on these photos to enlarge. Annie found a plastic water bottle.
