More walls

They've started installing the interior walls and putting the crown on the bottom floor. Here's a quick video.

Walls

They've started on the outer wall system. Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Floor

Jamie and his team finished sheathing our sub floor system! It was fun being able to walk around on it. They had drawn the outlines of where our walls would be, which they will be starting on tomorrow. Jamie called at around 4:10. He was confused about the separations between Alexander's closet, the laundry room, and the family room. We also grabbed Barrett some draw forms and the new engineering bill, which we left in the garage. Here's a video of the house.

Construction at Last

Jamie and Kurt spent last Friday building the floor system. They haven't sheathed it yet, but we're assuming that is because the inspector wasn't able to make it out. Below are some pictures I took today.

The Incredible Disappearing House

Barrett finally came to the conclusion that our subfloor was unsalvagable, which we've been worried about since the demolition was complete. Barrett started cutting into it to make repairs but soon realized that it wasn't even worth attempting. Yet another part to rebuild. And guess who earned the privilege of demolishing the flooring system! We were lucky enough to have Colin join us on Saturday, so it was a three man, six hour effort. I had to do about another three hours of solo work to finish up on Sunday, but all told, it was a great success. We have a large pile of good looking salvagable lumber for Olympia Salvage waiting in back and an even larger pile of rubble in the front yard.

We're excited to see something constructed for a change.

A Maze of Tubes

After digging for many hours, Jerry and I have cleared out the crawls space and layed the foundation catch drain. It's still waiting to be inspected, but Barrett says it looks fine. Here are some pictures.
