Today the framers came back and put up all the joists for the part of the house that has the crawlspace under it.
The steel guys were there today. They almost finished putting up the second side of the form for the back wall of the house above the retaining wall. They also have framed in the back door that leads outside from the kitchen. There are two more house walls that need a second layer of plywood […]
The steel guys did show up today, but they didn’t work on the house framing. Instead, they started removing the scaffolding from under the lower deck, which is cantilevered. They kept the scaffolding supporting it for almost a month to give the concrete time to really dry. The scaffolding was screwed together, and it is […]

The steel guys were busy today. They completed the rebar for the area next to the apartment door. Yesterday, the area to […]
Today the bobcat arrived and they were able to move the blocks which held up the hill next to the garage to a spot on the side of the road that goes to the upper part of the property. We will save these to use to edge garden beds. The first picture is a photo […]
Unfortunately, the post for Monday touting the new roof was saved as a page rather than a post, so it was not sent out to the email subscribers, nor was it shown other than as a menu item at the top of the screen. It has been switched, but whether it will be emailed out […]
