UNDER ROOF

MOVING ALONG

 

Just a quick update as the house construction completes the next phase. (In fact, the bank inspector is about to go for a visit so the contractor/builder can receive his next draw on the loan.).  As you read this the roof may be on.  The exterior framing is done; the roof joists have arrived, and are being manhandled into place – no crane here.  They built the walls one by one on site and then nailed an entire wall into place.  You can see from the pictures, that the frame structure for the interior is also substantially completed.  The hot tub was delivered and sits on the future patio (which will be essentially a year-round room); it was much easier to build around the hot tub rather than trying to squeeze it through a hole.

Fortunately the weather has been cooperative.  Except for one day, it has rained very little at the construction site even though other parts of Ohio were being inundated with torrential rains causing significant flooding.  The temperatures have subsided a bit and it has been generally comfortable.  However, the mosquitoes and other bugs have been prominent. 

 

We have been told that the place should be ready no later than Thanksgiving.  We hope that will be enough time to move before departure to our condo.  Ah, so much to pack.
