We've been FRAMED

So from the last post you know we started to frame our house. Progress went slow until Saturday and we got almost all the walls up and the wafer board on the outside walls. It was great to see that it is the shape of the house now. Framing is really neat because when you get a wall done you can see a lot of progress. In just a couple of hours I help build and put up four walls with Teri. We were just getting them done.

We did have two big hold-ups and it was tub #1 and #2. These are great shower tub combos that we are getting but there are a few draw backs. The tubs were suppose to be delivered on Friday so we could put them in the bathroom before the walls were put up. The issue is that the tubs are just about 2 inches bigger than all but the front and back door ways. So if you don't put them in then you have to take out walls to put them in later. Well they weren't delivered until Monday. On Saturday we just had to not put up several of the walls and leave out some studs so we could put them in on Monday. On Monday evening, we were able to get them in to the right spots and finish up all the framing and bracing that needed to be done. The house looks so good and is so awesome to see all the progress made in just a week.
