Framing

So...the week of framing didn't go exactly as expected. The company we had originally hired put off starting from Monday to Wednesday to finish a project assuring us they could start Thursday. On Thursday, it was Friday. On Thursday night, when our contractor called to double check and was told maybe Monday or Tuesday, he fired him.

However, he was able to quickly find someone else who could get started on Saturday. The pictures below are the result of one day of framing. They will be back out on Monday, and they say they can be done on Tuesday. If so, we will only be two days behind which is not bad considering the whole week of nothing getting done.

Still, it was exciting to be able to walk around and "see" the rooms. By tomorrow night, it should pretty much look like a house sans probably the roof rafters and decking. We have to go out there to meet with the people about our security system, so I will try to take more pictures to post here. Until then, check out the latest photos:
