This week Matt realized the framing is going to slow and he really needed to hire someone else to finish the sheeting on the roof so he could focus on the couple other framing projects(the timber trusses, finishing framing the basement, and the back patio) so luckily he was able to find someone to finish the roof so he could get other things accomplished and not hold up our schedule. Matt got our fireplace framed in so they can come install it.
For now it has become the girls stage where they put on shows and may stay that way when we move in
Wednesday night they were also able to get the beams put up for the back patio trusses
This week other trades have started to come in. The electric and plumbing should start tomorrow or Monday but today they finished the HVAC. Its nice to see things coming togethernow if we can only finish the framing completely!
We are really grateful for all the help we have received but I'm also relieved that Matt has found someone to take over the sheeting for the roof. I think he is way less stressed now that he doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Now the weather is starting to cool down in the morning and evenings...a sure sign of fall. Its time to get this thing dried in and ready for the winter!
These are a few pictures from how week 5 wrapped up. Im so glad we hired the crew to finish the roof I think it would have taken another month before it would have been done.
Saturday the goal was to get the timbers put together and maybe get them up but it went every way but the way we had planned! It was terrible! Matt called and their chain saws weren't working to cut the trusses. Long story short I ended up heading up to take him another chain saw that I picked up from Jon and Steph's house only to get it there and it ran for about 30 minutes and quit! I ended up running to Home Depot to buy a chain saw and various other stuff Matt needed and getting dinner. I made 3 trips up and down the canyon. On top of that with 3 kids, my ulcerlative colitis flaring, and my milk supply decreasing it was a little stressful to say the least. But at the end of the day Matt was able to get this together...I can't wait to see it up on the house.
