Looking more like a house...

The framers have made some good progress in just a little over two weeks of framing.  The pictures do not do it justice.  There is a lot of work going on that just doesn't come through.  Something I learned last week, which makes a lot of sense; custom built homes, the roof is put up board by board.  These guys have built their own little scaffolding out of 2x4s and 2x6s.  It looks like an erector set of little ladders and platforms.  Very impressive.  Today there was a bit of rain and slowed them down and made the rafters and scaffolding slippery as they have climbed all the way up to put in the top ridge int he roof.  Once they get the roof done, I expect the rest of the framing to do faster.  The builder gave the framers 30 days to finish…  that would be 23 July… time is money baby!

Here is the link to the photos.
