Friday we didn't go anywhere. Jackie, Josie, Cassie and Harry just played together all day. I wondered if the guys worked on Friday. So Sat. after we met Erik and Tami in Lasalle and had lunch at IHOP, the girls and I stopped at the lot around 2:45. All of the inside framing was done, except a couple walls in the master bath. This the back of the great room looking out onto the porch. There will be a inswing glass door and two sidelights that fill this space.
I thought this pic would flip, but it didn't. You get the idea. Josie is pumped about her closet. This is going to be a great improvement from her 9x9 room and ~3 ft. closet. I'm looking forward to putting a lot of her toys in here.
Sunday it snowed. I thought this is going to slow down progress, but when I talked to Dan today, he said the guys worked for 1/2 a day. They put up some sheathing. This is Jackie's room and it is enclosed. Josie's is partially. The master bed and bath are mostly enclosed. Now they are feeling like actual rooms. With snow in them!
I have issues. I saw this board in the framing for my bedroom wall. A few of the other boards have some blemishes too. Wouldn't you use this board to cut up for shorter pieces under windows?? You know, cut out the bad part. Steve says I'm being too critical, but if I were doing this job, I wouldn't use a piece like this. "You are not ever going to see this." But I know it is there. Of course most people don't know what their framing looks like. There were a lot of nice looking pieces still in the wood pile. It's fine. Not everything is going to be perfect!!!
I trudged into the back yard to get this pic at 4:45 pm Monday. It is looking more and more like a house. Dan dropped off the first Contractor's Verified Statement to be signed by us after looking at what is being paid out. He's going to CEFCU to get his 1st payout of ~48K. Goodness the basement was expensive. All the digging and concrete and framing lumber. I wonder if the trusses will get up this week. I hear snow is in the forecast for Wed. I should ask Dan if we are on track to be finished in April. I'm thinking May. Watch this site for trusses. I'm hoping to catch the crane there.
