The crew finally got to work building walls on Wednesday. It was so exciting to see it finally start to take shape!! The crew was still working when I dropped by that day, so I shot this pic from underneath that Grand Tree. You can see the limbs and the moss hanging down.
We didn't have a chance to go by until it was dark the next day, but Sarah and I dropped by after swim practice, hence the wet hair, parka and flip flops.
This super tall wall is in the entry way, on the side garage wall.
This is in the area that will be her new bedroom. And then, overnight, the skies opened up and it poured down rain. So, when I went by the next day, the crew was not working. Everything was sopping wet.
Note the big puddle on the bottom left, and the location of the mason's trailer.
We are still pretty behind, and although we weren't quite ready yet, the trusses were delivered today because I didn't remember in time to reschedule the delivery (again). Part of me felt bad for rescheduling it as much as we did, since we told them on the 20th that we would be ready on the 28th and they built them and they were just sitting around up there taking up space. So, when I got the call this morning that they were loaded and on their way, there was no turning back.
Remember that trailer? And the mud puddle?
Hopefully 1) It will dry out and 2) these will go up soon.
The other reason there was no crew today was that the pre-cast concrete lintels that go over the windows and doors had not yet arrived. They came some time after the trusses.
So, it's full speed ahead. Except the one other problem the rain caused:
This is our silt fence in the back- completely failing. Time to dig it out and stand it back up. Happy Friday everyone!!
