Framing the House, Weeks 6, 7, and 8, September 9-
October 4.
Framing progress slowed as Bob had pre-existing
commitments to do a couple of roofing jobs.
By September 23rd we had a few more windows in on the ground
level and some more foam board up.
The underside of the porch roof is sheathed with osb and ready for finishing…..
….with white aluminum soffit.
Brian, Maura, and I worked on running the polyethelene radiant heating tube between the floor
joists. It looked like strands of
wayward spaghetti until…..
we fastened it
up against the subfloor with aluminum plates and
staples.
The septic tank and field were installed….
We started buying materials for the electric and
plumbing and started running wire.
Here’s Brian stapling cable
The rest of the windows and front and back doors were
put in. Here’s the front door at the
beginning of October.
We only need to get the French doors and garage doors
in to keep the weather out now.
Bob and Ralph are working on metal trim around the
porch and garage doors.
October 4, trim around garage door openings.
Two recent rains added quite a bit of water to the
pond….. and the fall colors are just starting to show
in a few trees and bushes.
