Framing…Day 4

The noon report finds that the Tappe crew has been busy finishing up the framing on the first floor and attaching sheeting to the ends of the open web floor trusses all morning. The trusses for the second floor are due to be delivered this afternoon. The panoramic photo shows the abundance of windows that will allow us to enjoy the beautiful view out the front of The “L” Shaped House.

Barry has started framing walls in the garage as well (more photos tonight).

This evening most of the garage wall framing is up. The remaining three walls around the stairway are going to be nearly 20 feet high and will have to be put in place with a crane.

The four 9 foot (wide) by 8 foot (high) garage doors are going to be a big upgrade from the (2) 8’ by 6’ 8” doors on our current garage (photo taken with a wide angle lens to get the quadruplets in the frame).

The Tappe guys also got the wall sheeting installed all the around the back…including the basement walk-out doorway.
