Framing




Yesterday (Tuesday), they finished the demolition on the house and began framing the perimeter. I came home around 5:00 and they were still working hard. Nittany and I were allowed in the house while they were working; however Nittany wasn't a big fan. He stayed by my side the whole time and it took him about 15 minutes until he would even take a bite of his dinner. The hammering was a little too much for him. Poor guy. I had the privilege of watching the workers put a tarp over the house on the extremely windy day. It was rather entertaining. However, Jon said he got the worst night of sleep because of the tarp blowing over the house - not the quitest activity.

Today, they continued the framing and put the posts up of the roof. They also began boarding around the outside. I had class so I'm not sure how much they got done past 3:45. By the time Jon came home the tarp was up. We're also finding that there is a little dust all over the house, even though the upstairs is boarded off from the rest of the house. It's not awful just a little dirty.

Hey guys. Looks like the construction is moving along nicely. The blog is a good idea. Best of luck with everything, I'll keep an eye on how it's going.
