Lower level interior framing for bearing walls started late Aug as we were waiting for the wall SIPs panels to show up. They have been running behind a lot, but they finally showed up just after Labor Day. This was only a partial shipment that included the lower level panels, but that helped keep things moving.
The interior walls done and waiting for SIPs to show up...
What's that in the distance? Looks like a SIPs panel!
It is! That is the stairwell wall. Due to the large windows in the stairwell, they wanted to frame it with continuous posts from ground to top, so the whole 28' tall section was raised in one piece. The framer (Roger) said it was a lot of fun... You can see the lower SIPs walls almost done here.
And the next day they were completed with the garage door wall, and they got the steel beams in place.
Another view.
No pictures of the floor trusses going up, but that was next. It was pretty quick.
Then, while waiting for the main level SIPs to show up, they framed up the screen porch/deck floor, and then laid the floor sheathing out. This was Sept 12, 2013.
They did a little more interior framing but were basically waiting for
the upper level panels to show up at this point. They finally arrived
on Tues Sept 16, so main level framing is underway. I'll post some
updates on that in a few days. Next up is some work on the shop and the trench for utilities.
