Day 19 - the ROOF is UP! (Wednesday)

Wednesday morning I drive up and the roof is being installed.

Notice the guy working on the roof, there is a small opening where wood is being hauled through it.

He is headed back for more wood!

Prepping the bulldozer to haul more lumber to the roof.

Alright, great JOB!

Clearly we are not to ENTER - it is dangerous at this stage!!

I came back later in the afternoon and found our first goodies!  YaY!!!
We have our windows and doors!  YES!!

Tobais is prepping this piece for the end of the front porch!

These guys love living on the EDGE!
 Notice the corner of the front porch, the piece of wood Tobais is prepping is going on the corner and I discovered what the pretty white boards are for - notice underneath the frame for the front porch - there you will notice the white pretty boards.

They discovered a problem with the end unit.  It was several inches too long and they found a solution for the moment. The corner unit should be flush with the wall.   The other worker has added some additional wood to get this piece installed.  It's intact, however, the unit is extended pass the corner of the house.

Notice the extra pieces of wood that they used to remedy the problem.  

I love the roof line here on the morning room.  They did a great job.
 They still have wood in the basement to complete the framing.

Snap shot looking through the windows from the front porch.

It's getting dark but these guys are still working!  He is getting the rest of the wood for the garage and front porch.

These are the baby trusses that will be used for the garage and front porch.  I kept wondering where these little pieces were going to be installed.  

This is where we left them last night!
They installed all the baby trusses but it was too dark to take a picture !

Day 18 - Framing Continues - PT 3 (Tuesday)

I am a couple of days behind on my daily blog because my daughter took ill and was hospitalized.  The past few days have been a world wind.  I must admit I am exhausted and was very concerned about her.  She had a seizure while sleeping which is an isolated event and the doctors are uncertain of the cause.  Yesterday they decided to give her a spinal tap to rule out other disorders/diseases.  I am happy to report she is stable but still in pain from the procedure and is being observed for additional 24 hours so she can be discharged tomorrow.  Please hold her in your prayers.  Thank you so much.

In the meantime, the framing on our home continues.  The following pictures and progress are from Tuesday, October 23.

When I arrived this morning this is what I found!  These guys do not play around!  They will be installing the flooring for the second level and interior framing.

Ryan Homes Green Guard Build Wrapping
Not sure what the brown pipe is for,  I am sure I will find out!

Wow!  I get to photograph the trusted can of energy drink that is inevitably going to be found on the site!

Tobais preparing the gable with the building wrap.

This was the location of the wood furthest from the lot.  As you can see the wood is GONE!
It is on the house!  YES!

These guys move so fast they never have time to clean up!  They just keep it moving and I am not complaining!

Came back this afternoon and found the gables ready for installation

Granddaughter excited to see the house going up!
She said to me "finally grandma"  :-)

The last of the wrapping is being cut down.  The guy is behind the wrapping. lol

This worker is putting the finishing touches on the wrapping.

The wood on top is for the front porch and the wood below is for the roof.

This gable will be installed above the loft.

These pieces are for the garage!

Our house is rising UP and has officially closed the gap between LOT #27 & LOT #29!

This guy started tearing through the wrap for the window openings

This is such a wonderful sight--the gap is slowly closing.  We are expecting the roof to be installed tomorrow.
