Framing Week 4

Another week of trusses is underway and hopefully by the time the week ends they will be complete and they will complete the sheeting so next week we can get our other trades in and get Matt back to not working 18 hour days.

The girls have found very creative ways to entertain themselves. Although not all of them safe so we have had to keep a close eye on them but they are great to play together while I help clean the house up

 Saturday Matt got some extra help in the form of Carson and Nick. Lately it seems like our help has been less reliable which makes it hard for Matt to get things done since he can't do most of it by himself. So we were extremely grateful it worked otu for them to come help Matt for the entire day.

 Yet again the girls making a place to play. This "swing" was a big hit until dad shut the fun down:(

This concludes our week. I can tell Matt is getting frustrated that things aren't going faster. He is exhausted and missing us girls more every day. At this point all the trusses are up minus the timber trusses and the back patio trusses(we are waiting for the concrete to be poured in the spot footings) We were able to go up Sunday after church and lay out some more of the basement. I just really want to be sure that we have enough storage in the house. We also went over where they were going to put both furnaces and the air vents to make sure they were in good spots. This week we also met with 2 AV guys and a central vac which we are considering putting in. Now with the trusses on it is taking more shape of what the final project will be which is nice. With school drawing near Im ready for Matt to be done framing so we can keep the progress coming. Multiple people have told us how quickly the house is coming along but we don't really feel that way but Matt and I have always held ourselves to a higher standard so that is probably the problem. Matt and I talked on the way home about how it might be time to call in some more help and pay someone to finish the roof to free up a lot of Matt's time. I think its time to look for some more help and luckily Matt is also on board. I guess we will see how it goes
