Day 16 - Twas the NIGHT before Monday....

.....there wasn't a worker in sight!  

I returned today (Sunday) and this is confirmation the workers do not work the entire weekends; however, working on Saturdays is pretty cool!!  They do need a day of rest to build these homes efficiently unless they employ different crews for different days.

When my husband and I returned after 2:00 pm we could tell they had completed the framing around the perimeter and most of the flooring on the main level.  They were still in the process of installing the floors.  We watched them cutting wood as a tool to install the floors, they were cutting that wood so fast like it was nobody's business.

View from the basement morning room

View of the floor joists along the perimeter of the house. We have to catch most of these views from the neighbors lawn.  It's unfortunate but there isn't any other place to stand and plus the workers have done a number along the edge of her lawn.  I am sure when they sod our lawn they will repair any damage.

This worker is installing the floor over the fireplace

Most of the flooring is installed with the exception of the morning and living room. This is where they stopped for the day.

These are the pieces of wood that were being cut as they installed the floors.  

The unfinished area that will be complete tomorrow.

The opening for the basement stairs.  This is a great view of all the floors they installed.They did a wonderful job and it was a pleasure catching them in action.  Each day I feel a closer attachment to our "dream home."

I brought them pizza and pepsi for lunch.
We need a dumpster onsite because there is a lot of trash floating around our site.

Isz Wisz, the secret vault is locked down.

A view of the sky from inside the basement.  We will never catch this view again once the framing is complete.

They hauled this wood in before the joists were installed.  

Our LOT #28 written on our support beams.  Notice that the floor joists and the floors are installed on top of it.

They are done!

The morning room wasn't complete before they left yesterday.  I like how it gives us a feel of what to expect with the enclosed basement and windows looking out to the pond.

The wood is scattered everywhere through the cul-de-sac

AND TOMORROW IS A MUCH MUCH BIGGER DAY!
