Framing Begins

Things are happening quickly now.  The porch and garage foundation walls were poured last week and filled with gravel and the basement was poured on Monday.











That was enough for our framer Danny to begin so he was out there yesterday morning at 7:00 am.  Some lumber was delivered by 8:00 but the city hadn't yet connected the temporary electric.  Danny had a small generator to power just a saw so he went to cutting but I didn't know how long before the city utilities would show up so I borrowed a friends' generator and took it out for Danny to use.  With it he was able to run his air compressor for his nail guns.

As it turned out I'm glad I did that becuase the City didn't connect
the power until 2:00.  With the generators Danny was able to just
about complete the basement framing and get ready for putting the
I-joists on today.  Very exciting to see some real construction.
