A lot has happened!

Sorry family (for it is they who have been yelling at me to get another post up!)

Nathan has been hard at work, that part hasn't changed a bit! We now have the main floor all framed, the second level floor framed, the second floor walls framed for Keith & Terese's area.  Attic floor framing & roof to come soon!  Also all the interior wall framing upstairs for K & T are done.  We drove by to look at it togther yesterday (N,K & J) J - after having 4 days of following her mom around was having NONE of it and had a fit of epic porportions.  So I followed her lead and got a glance out of the corner of my eye & took the girl home to have some play time...not driving, not being quiet, not being scooted off to someone else!

Who cares about words, let's see some WALLS!!

Wanna see a wall go up?  How does this amazing man handle such a feat on his own??  Drum roll please!

He builds the wall laying down, outside faceup.  To make less work later, we (he) also puts on the tyvek covering to protect the plywood from moisture until the exterior material is put on.  They then hook up the wall to the wall jacks.

Then grab your partner!  Or your dad!  Simultaneously they use the come-along on the wall jack to raise the wall.

It's so easy, I can do it one handed! lol



Taa Daa!



He will then stablize the wall with a 2x4 that is set at the same angle as the wall jacks, remove the jacks to use for the next wall.  The two walls are connected to the floor and each other and then, ta da!  You do that over and over and over!
