As of Tuesday, July 24, we had a wall!
|
|
Our dogs, Katie and Star, remember the old place and are happy to see
construction, too.
|
Everything is reinforced with huge bolts and major braces...very strong!
|
There are also metal cross-bars to keep things from shifting in an earthquake.
|
Within a few days, they had half the house framed!
|
Each day we can see more progress...and watching them lift the huge beams
with this strange piece of equipment was pretty interesting.
|
The pieces started to come together and it is actually starting to look like a
house is "growing" here.
|
We have such a good crew, very hard working!
|
We really got excited when the tongue-in-groove ceiling started going up.
|
The next excitement was seeing our new fireplace starting to be built!
|
And it's also exciting to see the roofline start to take shape! Hooray!
