WINDOWS! GLORIOUS WINDOWS!

Week 8 (still): I CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE PROGRESS!

The pictures tell the tale...

That Beam Cost What??

This i-beam set me back a lot of money but it's so worth it! It's going to assure that the second floor is rock solid with no deflection (no bounce when you step). The stupid architect drew an inferior floor in the plans but Builder Rick suggested this as a method of providing a much sounder floor.

Where Da Party At??

...It's on the back deck ba-bee!!!

Here, my friends is the skeleton frame for a kick-ass covered deck off the back of the house. Oh, I can taste the mojitos now!! :)

Small Boo Boo (Window)

Okay, so construction is wrought with complexities and errors can happen from time to time. The following is one such mishap. The big hole on the right is for a double window and the small hole on the left is for a single window. The only issue is that they should be reversed. It's a change we made on-site. No worries...They can fix it pretty quickly. Love those framers.

UPDATE: See...window error fixed!

Week 8: MORE FRAMING

Week 7 (Part II): More Framing!

Week 7: FREEZE FRAME!

Oh yeah!!! It's on and poppin' now!!
The sticks are going up...

Week 6: Did I Mention I'm Broke?!!!

Okay so remember how I told you that the extra digging and concrete was gonna cost me?....Well I just got the bill today and it was $2,200!!!! For some friggin' CONCRETE!!! I am fuming!! And the worst part is that it's really nobody's fault so I just have to eat that expense (on top of ALLLLL the other money I've spent!) :(

In better news, the crawl space was approved by the City and we can start framing on Friday. Yay!

Oh and Ricky is using me for advertising. See the nice sign...
