 Framing .................

 

Placing the biggest beam downstairs to support the loads. The upstairs floors will have radiant heat in them, and will be extremely heavy. Later this summer we will have pictures of the gypcrete and the radiant heating that make it so heavy

                                The second beam is now in place, and all of the downstairs walls are finished.

                                    Got a lot of rain Tuesday and Wednesday, but the crew worked right through it.

                                    These last two pictures show the joists all in place. The decking is going on late Friday and Monday, then the upstairs walls will begin. Now that the downstairs walls and joists are finished, the basement walls are secured enough to backfill the surrounding areas, and build up the soil around the basement and get the grading and drainage started. The black plastic material you see below is the waterproofing, and basically shows where the backfilling will occur, and the finished level of the soil around the house.
