Framing

Immediately after the foundation was done, the framer came in to chalk lines and get going. We've had some dry weather, so we can get wood down the hill, and the guys are working hard.

These first images are framing up the basement and foundation walls. So the tops of these walls will be the floor of the house.

Finally we connect the two halves of the house together with the breezeway

Three Simpson strong walls - I guess this is where we're supposed to be if the big one hits

This is the first bridge on the property; there will be three when we're done. The blocks show the placement of the windows

First walls up were Gwen's studio

Coming up to the front door

Dave's garage going up!

Suddenly the house looks huge

Really big crane, we need about 200ft of reach from the road to the house.

Using the sky hook to drop the trusses in place!
