Moving On Up

Since the last post, the main underground plumbing was installed, and framing has begun!

Steel joists were installed in basement over the plumbing which will be in the crawl space.  Then wood sheets cover the joists, forming the structural floor.

Finally able to see the house from the street.

 Basement is being framed, Christa is standing in doorway.

Base of interior walls in basement.

Wood joists that will be under main floor.

View from inside basement.

Concrete poured over wood structural floor in basement.  Needed wood structural floor to give room for potential soil expansion, and then concrete poured over for the thermal mass.

Front wall is framed and ready to be erected.

Interior walls of main floor are being built.
