As promised on our Monday call, the roof is indeed going up this week, absolutely amazing how fast the framing is going - it will be an almost finished outside fully wrapped with shingled roof by next week, maybe even the end of this week given two full days left!! I'll start with a bunch of photos of the outside - all the way around. The final few we climbed over the back "fence" and into the undergrowth to get the scale of the entire back of the house. Next up, some inside shots - basement. Next up, inside shots of the first floor. And last but not least, our first look at the second floor because yours truly braved the rickety ladder left kindly by the workmen - bit of a gamble but paid off!
Plan: Get kids to house before concrete dries - hand prints etc.
Reality: Too much work and four kids all hurrying fast = not likely. Backup: Hands prints in the driveway! However, floors are still great! Means once dry the framing will go up. Adele said two to three weeks we'll have a house - I honestly don't believe it. You can see the holes where the "floating" steel beam will go. We know it's a floating steel beam as there are some vlogs which show that if you concrete a floor to a wall, it's almost certain it will crack when it settles. Same with a steel beam - it needs to "move" as the house settles, so will be concreted separately. So quite excited to see a new maze... of pipes! This is our basement plumbing. We're certain the bathroom is in the best position around the middle but not blocking too much so easy access wherever you are.
We also have a wet bar rough in - which is closer to the wall. Our sump pump is pretty big but so is the basement. We figured they would need a LOT of gravel, and here it is. Filling up the are underneath the guest suite at the far end of the house probably took a truck in itself! Everything looks ready for concrete... |
