Fabian and Dylan are filling the holes around the soni tubes at the front of the house. Fabian has stacked the large rocks laying in the street up nicely into a retaining wall on Silver Street . When completed, they go to the alley and now begin filling the cavity between the newly poured foundation walls with gravel. Dylan is great in spreading out the gravel we need to the perfect level we require to pour the garage floor.Joe and Greenbay begin the exterior framing and by end of the day have laid out, framed and raised up the west gable wall on the 2nd floor. It’s exciting to see it go up. More to come.
This morning when everyone arrived we did a major cleanup and reorganization, a great way to start a Monday morning. I was glad to have the cover on as there was frost covering the plastic tarp this morning.
Pat and I begin framing the ceiling over the mechanical room and ½ bath on the first floor. We already have the cantilevered balcony in place and now we have to fill in with microlams to frame a floor that we can pour concrete over. At the end of the day Pat and I have completed the framing for this section of floor and begin to attach the old sheets of galvanized corrugated metal to the joists. We hope to have the entire floor ready to pour by Wednesday.
The weather was perfect today with a beautiful clear blue sky and Indian summer day; I hope it continues.
