Building Walls

This past saturday, we started building walls
Sunday was another wet & rainy day

We currently have 4 walls built
one interior and the others exterior
just not quite ready to erect.
Hot & Humid!!!

The subfloor is DONE!
We may have to do some patch work later because it was rained on
Trimming the edge of the subfloor
Getting ready to build another wall
85 degrees and alot of humidity - made for a miserable day of work
But we were able to get quite a bit done today, after losing saturday to rain!
Rainy and Wet!

4 inches of rain during the week...
..& another full day of rain today...
we realized that no matter how much we try, our subfloor will still get wet.

No more piles of dirt
Wow! I just realized...we have a huge yard.
We will need plenty of grass seed and plenty of volunteer lawn mowers.

We hired someone to do the Septic system.
It was 91 degrees yesterday when they put our system in the ground.

Sand for garage floor

And I thought we'd have to mow the garage one of these days : )


Digging trench for the septic system



Septic comes directly into the utility rm. in the basement

A bit of adhesive
plywood and some nails...
that should do it!
Shade in the basement! With another week of 90 degree weather predicted...this will come in handy.

Ribbons & Strongbacks
July 6th, 2008
For the past 2 1/2days, we have been connecting the trusses to each other...
(these are called strongbacks) & we added Ribbons to the outside edge of each truss to connect them together.

Including a cute lil' wall that I made for between the stairs and the garage.
The 2nd delivery of lumber allowed us to be able to work on the cantilevered area for the Master Bdrm.
