As of Sunday, almost all of the framing was done. There are a few things left to do for the roofing portion, but other than that it looks good. It’s really gratifying to see the actual space and size of the new kitchen and master bedroom after looking at a floor plan for the past month. The master suite will have vaulted ceilings, 3 windows (2 facing east, 1 facing south), and French doors which will let in plenty of light, but the overhanging trees will still provide adequate shade.

We should have renderings up by the end of this week to show what the finished product will look like.

With a quick change in personal, our walls went up in a day. The crew worked like a swarm of bees constructing a hive, very precise and hard working. The roof is expected to be completely in the next few days allowing the plumber to begin work on Monday.

Brandon can shed more light on this since he is currently on-site, but today the rest of the piers were poured. Yesterday the base/re-barb were put in and today the above ground portion of the piers are going up. It was overcast all day today with only very minor sprinkles of rain, so there were no delays, but we are hoping for some heavy sun so the concrete can complete drying and framing can begin on Saturday.

We will be at the property all day Saturday and Sunday (weather pending) so if you want to come see our progress or lend a hand please stop on by

Day 9 of construction - We worked through the first weekend to get the demo mostly done. The foundation work began on Monday and they have worked incredibly hard to get our fifteen new piers dug and poured so we can start framing this weekend. We also beefed up the beams that run along the rear of the existing house so that we could tie onto it, saving us five more piers. At this point I’m very happy with our progress.

Almost all demo is complete and we will be finished tomorrow. We’ve taken out the back stairs, shed, kitchen cabinets, back room closet and most the the drywall that needs to come down. Tomorrow we plan to complete the drywall removal, remove the water heater and take the back of the house’s siding off. I’m excited by our progress and glad that the foundation work will be on schedule and begin on Monday.
