The house has come a long way since the last post! The foundation was finished, and David put down plastic in the crawlspace for a moisture barrier and then had river sand brought it and dumped on top of it. He spent a long day out in the hot sun raking the sand out to cover the plastic. The sand will help keep the crawlspace dry, and also make it a little more pleasant when crawling under there because it keeps you out of the red mud!
Our framing crew started on Saturday. We are using Rangel Framing, owned by Daniel Rangel from Greenville. David is also out there every day he isn't working. Here are a few pictures of the progress so far:
This is looking into the garage. It opens on the side of the house.
This is the view from the back corner now. Part of the cathedral ceiling in the living room is going up.
Here's another view from the back. You can start to see where the back porch will be.
A closer view of the back of the house, from the other corner.
Inside the living room, with a lot of bracing still in place.
Looking into the kitchen area.
Looking up at the catheral ceiling.
But don't try to go out on the front porch.... that first step will get you!
Later on both porches will be poured, but for now it's just an empty shell.
The framing has come a long way! They still have to frame the upstairs bonus room and the rest of the roof. Next comes roofing and siding! More updates will be coming as progress is made. Thanks for visiting!
