The Walls are Upright





Who knew that contractor's got Labor Day as a paid holiday? As you can tell by the lack of posts last weekend, the framers didn't do any work on Friday. Northwestern Energy was out there marking where they were putting the gas line, so I guess some work got done.
Today, all the walls that were laying on the ground last week, were put upright. The stairs were also put in, so Mocha got her workout chasing us up and down the stairs. We were looking back at old pictures of the house today, and it is hard to believe that we are already framing. Even though I do complain, the framing process is still going really quick.
We found some more errors that the framers made today, and if you look at the last picture you will probably see what it is. Travis is meeting with them tomorrow morning to get them to fix the problems. Can you see what went wrong??? I'll give you a hint...it has to do with the windows. The sheeting around most of the windows downstairs hasn't been cut out yet, so the number of windows isn't the problem...Just for some added suspense, I'm not going to give you the answer until tomorrow:)
The Helena Parade of Homes is this weekend and our framers have a house in it. They will be pulling their crew off of our house the end of this week to do some finishing touches on their parade home. After tomorrow, there might not be much progress this week. The roof trusses are scheduled to be delivered on the 19th and the framers are hoping to be done by the end of September. I'm hoping winter holds off at least until we get the roof on, so everyone cross your fingers.
