Framing Started

This week they frame the basement and put on the main floor trusses and decking. On Wednesday we visited with most of the kids (Heather, John, Becca, Alex, Rob and Pete). We watched them swing a little steel and walked in the woods.

Some of the wood framing is in place.

They had a crane on site to lift the steel I-beam pieces. We watched them pick up one.

Lifting the beam.

Guiding it over the house.

We were expecting the beam to be put in place, but no, they just laid it on the basement (dirt) floor. How anti-climatic!

Lowering it to the floor.

We availed ourselves of the opportunity to take a walk in the woods. This was the first time John had seen the property and only the second time Pete had.
