Rafters

The crew is working on the rafters which will be installed tomorrow.

Clerestory

Dumpster Delivered

More concrete

Today concrete work was done on the pad outside the garage.

Plans

Dan and Bryan are discussing plans. We are so impressed with Bryan and his crew.

Garage Trusses

Ceaser worked on the north side of the garage, setting the trusses. Since one more truss is needed to complete the garage area, a truss was removed so that Alex could make another one.

Garage Panel

Another panel in the garage is added.

East and West Wall Trusses

More wood

This load of wood came from Pueblo. Notice that at the end of the truck is a machine that the driver uses to unload the wood.

Welder

Trusses...oops

After the folk lift was delivered, Bryon was rearranging the trusses and backed over two of them. His crew will have to make new ones.

The Trusses Arrived

With a click of a button, the driver was able to unload the trusses, which were on his fancy truck.

Front Porch

The flat work guys showed up bright and early today and we now have a front porch.

Lunch

The crew is enjoying lunch. They continue to be a hard working group.

Now we have water!

We now have 400 gallons of water in the cistern. Since the water in the well on this property contains a high percentage of uranium, we have to haul water.

more interior walls

Garage wall

The north and west walls were installed today.

Framing

This view shows the framing on the east side of the house.

Chalk Line

The framers carefully measure and use a chalk line to place the framed walls before they cut the wood and build the walls.

The Heismanns

Today, while Zac was here, we spent the day watching the crew put up the SIPS panels for the house. It was a beautiful day in Colorado.
