I've been framed!

I can officially say I've been framed. I visited the house today and took the contractors lunch(a platter from Subway). Gotta keep t he ones building your home happy! Well it must have inspired them. When i went back after work, this is what I saw:

Keep in mind that is not where that circle vent goes. it will be moved(its fake anyway)

I need some structure

Now we are getting somewhere. After the Amish not working on the house at all yesterday(due to the rain all morning) they did a good job catching up today. Second floor is almost done. I imagine we will see roof on tomorrow. Some windows and doors are already in. Starting to actually look like a house now.

1 floor down

Holy mackeral the Amish work fast. I went by this morning and they had just started framing, by 5pm they have the whole first floor done. Im loving it.

Not Tigers Wood

The wood was deleivered today as promised. Of course we are supposed to get thunderstorms tonight, but i think its going to be dry the rest of the weekend. Was hoping for dry wood when they started. Funny how all the doors are just sitting outside too. Im not to sure im happy about that. I dont like the idea of the interior doors taking on all that water. Wont they wind up warping? I may say something to the PM on Monday.

FIll 'er up

Foundation is officially complete!! We are back filled. Woohoo. Confirmed with our PM today that lumber gets delivered tomorrow, and framing starts Monday(barring any weather delays). From what I hear the crew is Amish, which is fantastic as the Amish certainly know what they are doing and don't cut corners. I love that they use them.

The Wall

They removed the forms as scheduled and will start waterproofing the foundation tomorrow. Its exciting we actually have something that resembles the beginning of a structure. We no longer only own a hole!

Foundation Poured

Went by yesterday and saw the forms up! The foundation has been poured and we officially have walls of a sort. Also, I noticed that the sale of the land from the developer to Ryan showed up on the county auditors website, which is just another "official" step.
Here are a couple pics of the foundation with the forms on.
