The framers back

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
The framers are back. Only five guys (or so - I didn't actually count) but they were working quickly to frame the eaves (below) as well as the garage (pictures to follow). They are from Double Hammer Construction, by the way.

Victor and Chrispin (from Conquest Builders) had previously added some wood to the vinyl window bucks so that we can set the windows towards the outside of the house instead of inside. Makes the house look a bit more "normal" but also gives us some extra space on the inside because of the depth of the ICF walls.

And, while I'm at it, lets step back and take a look at what we have so far.

And the roof goes on

Sorry, Marco (Integrity Remodeling) - you were on the roof while I was on the ground taking a few pictures. You didn't know who this nut snooping around your job site was until you called Victor. But (at least from the ground) it looks like you do good work. On the other hand, we might need to get you a new sign for your truck.

Its a good thing you have some mechanical help because getting all this material to the roof would be a back-breaker.

But some GAF Weather Watch leak barrier, a GAF Cobra Exhaust ridge vent system, some starter shingles, 50 squares worth of GAF TimberLine 30 Fox Hollow Gray shingles should lead to a large part of our weathertight home.

I've been remiss

I've been remiss. Lots of work done but I haven't had time to take the pictures or post updates. The second floor walls were poured, the basement floor was poured, the second floor interior walls and attic floor were built and here you can see that the roof was framed and sheated as well.
