Started Framing


Getting to the point we could start framing took much longer than we thought as we had a few hurdles along the way. Our framer Neil finished up another job later than he planned and our foundation guy took longer than he planned so we got a late start and unfortunately for us, winter came extra early this year, and with a vengance. I think we have over 24" of snow already. We just blew about 18" off of the main floor with the snowblower over Thanksgiving weekend, and got stuck 3 times trying to get in to do so. I need to get my tractor back up there so we can use it to clean up the snow. I hoped to get it framed up and a roof on at least before we got too much snow. The last few years we haven't gotten hit hard with snow until Dec. So far though, Neil and his guys have done an excellent job. It's nice to have a framer that wants it to turn out how it should instead of just wanting to get off the job asap.

This is our new basement. Upstairs will have similar window layout directly above with a large deck.
