Framing Days 9 & 10

I am still amazed at how in the matter of 10 working days, a crew of 5 can be at the point where they have begun to frame the roof. I now have hopes that we are getting back on pace and actually making up a bit of time.

Somehow, someway, after what has been one of the coldest, snowiest winters on record, we have had 2 weeks of calm, but cold weather and no days have been missed due to weather. Long range forecast points to upper 40's this weekend...so might actually lose some days to rain if it holds true.

We are "juiced up" as I saw the framers had tapped into the panel today...so we have power again.

Other than that, working on getting the roofer in line, followed by all the "guts" = plumber, electrician and HVAC.

I will be out at the site tomorrow morning to talk to the head guy - get his best estimate on roof completion - also need to go over some other items - I noticed the master shower was framed out with a full wall- it should be a half wall...also need to see about the way they have one transom window framed out may be too close to the roof line.

Bridget had the idea to have me actually be in a few pictures...so here I am...joy!


Bridget was not a fan of using my make shift ladder to get up to the second floor...


The framers constructed this catwalk to aid in framing...crazy, considering this is already on the 2nd floor - so in essence the ladder is positioned nearly 4 floors high...needless to say, I wont be going up there to take any pictures...
