Blogger is dumb so these pictures are in reverse order but you'll get the point anyway! Yesterday was day 2 of framing and they got all the exterior basement walls done. The plan is to put the floor joists on Monday or Tuesday and I think we are right on track!
All but one small wall up. Adam, Skinny, Jerob, Wade and Mark all pitched in and got a lot done in a little time last night. It was awesome.
This is the north side of the house, which stretches 47 feet. They decided to frame it all in one piece. It took 6 of us to heft it into place and even that was iffy! The best part was after we got it up and were all standing there while it was nailed in place, Mark had jumped through the window to hold it from the outside. We were standing there talking and he suddenly disappeared because the bank had given way!

Smoothing last bit of concrete for the basement floor. It was fascinating to watch them work.
