Framing is complete! (week 6)



This week was plagued with cold temperatures and rain which slowed down progress. The framers were able to complete the roof decking and roof underlayment. Roofers showed up on Friday to start installing shingles, however the 38 degree temperature and blowing rain turned them away. The framers spent the day working inside finishing up some of the details like the tray ceiling in the master bedroom. They also removed the majority of the temporary bracing and started cleaning up the interior. Thursday, the excavators dropped of a skid steer to start back filling the front yard and the front porch. Friday we met with the electrician to do a walk through for placement of outlets and light fixtures.

Christmas is Thursday this week and there is rain in the forecast for Wednesday. I am hoping the roofers can get the roof installed before the rain gets here. Tim has told us they will try to install the upstairs bathtub/showers before the windows are installed. The windows were scheduled to be delivered on Monday. The electrician is scheduled to start Monday as well so I expect the job site will be busy with so many crews working.
