Framing goes FAST!

This week was all about the framing. The addition is mostly framed out, the skylights arrived, and the windows and doors have finally been ordered.

This is what it looked like on Friday.

8 am on Friday!





Temporary flooring 

Skylights! Turned out that the curb mounted ones are bigger than the deck mounted ones, so we can only fit two of them. Anyone in the market fo a 22x70 skylight? I can sell it to you for 40% off!

That flooring there in the middle is the landing/mudroom area

Around 11 am on Friday.

Around 1:30 on Friday
I worked from home yesterday (Friday) because I had a morning meeting with the cabinet subcontractor and then just a general meeting with the contractor. Because I was home, I ended up going over over there a couple more times, to clarify the skylight locations (we had to reduce it from 3 to 2) and talk with the door/window sub to clarify some things.

Today they were working to finish up the framing, so this is from just a short time ago.
Sheathing is almost done.

Once the envelope is closed up, they will do the interior demolition, turning the window into a doorway and moving the basement door. Brick should start next week. Things will move along pretty quickly now.

Saturday - 3/16/19 Last weekend we started moving things back into the house. Allen took Friday off and had a couple of guys come to move everything out of our bedroom to where it goes in the house. He also had them move most of our stuff back over from our friend's house around the corner.  Here are the basement pictures.
