Framing


I guess the 2nd time building a house is like the 2nd kid...you simply dont take as many pictures. Its more the result of its dark by the time I get back out to the house at night. The loan issues finally got solved and we closed on the loan from the "new" bank in early Nov. Weather held out and the basement floor was poured and the first floor deck (base) was put on shortly thereafter.

Averages held true - as the avg. 1 inch or more snow occurs around Dec 4th - and wouldn't you know it, we get 3.5 inches Dec 4th - the first snow of the year.

Had it held out another 10 days or so, we probably would have been near having the roof at least framed in. As it is, I spent two hours today doing the odd task off shoveling out the inside of the house (not a fun task). But did not want the snow melting and getting into the basement - which has stayed dry expect for a few puddles.

Hope is to have the 2nd floor up this week and up to the roof next week. Forecast looks cold (20's to 30's) but no snow.
