Day 14: More Framing


The floor/ceiling joists depending upon how you look at them, went up today. Though the progress will probably seem less dramatic once the outer shell is completely done, there is still much work. It is so exciting standing in the middle of what will be our 2 car garage and remembering how nice it was to have one. The things we so easily take for granted!

The front porch seen in this picture will not be here much longer. An interior wall will be built to support the upper level of the house and it will be taken out to make room for the new entrance which will face east, off of a usable porch. Currently the front door faces south.

All that commentary about staging of materials is becoming a dead issue. Chris and crew from Brady 3 moved all of the wood under cover. Again, they are tidying up with broom and brawn.

The best view of the front entrance will be coming from the east.

Once all the brush was taken out and the construction got underway it was easier to see how 'old' looking the front windows are looking. New windows look to be on the horizon. The house is a mixture of 3 different periods of windows. Ah, the beauty of being eclectic.
