Day 19

Monday, June 1, 1998

  This is the view from the front corner of the garage.  As you can or can't tell, the first floor is up.  The stack of wood you see in the back right are the window frames, they made them all up already, makes it easy when the majority of your windows are the same size!     This is the front - West wall.  You can see it laying down in the front of the picture above.  They got both the W & E walls ready today, but didn't put them up yet.  Dad had a fire meeting tonight, so they quit around 5:30 or so (just in time for us to get there!)     Here's what the walkout looks like now!  The far left is the subgarage, from there double window jam, french door frame, and another set of double windows.  That should make for a lot of light down in the basement!     Here is the view from the far right of the picture above.  You can see the ceiling, the floor joists span (in most places) the entire length left to right (east to west).  They are a new age floor joists that can handle such spans without support other than the outside walls and the I-Beam in the middle.  Just right of the plywood on the ground, on the far side of the I-Beam is where the staircase will be, coming down toward the wall and the subgarage.     Here's a closer picture of where the stairs will be.  On the back side of the beam you can see supports spaced out.  The stairwell opening is currently covered up, for easier working conditions on the floors above.     This is the view from the NorthEast side of the house, you can see the walkout to the left.     This is the view from the Northwest side of the house.  You can see the East Back wall that they have laid out but not up yet.      If you haven't looked at the plans... go here:  PLANS We've begun buying tile and have our carpet picked out:  INTERIOR   Or see another day's activities: Day One - May 12 Day Two - May 13 Day Three - May 14 Day Four - May 15 Day Five - May 16 Day Six - May 17 - NOTHING (no work done) Day Seven - May 18 - NO PHOTOS Day Eight - May 19 Day Nine - May 20 Day Ten - May 21 Day Eleven - May 22 Day Twelve - May 23 (May 24-25th Vacation - days won't count) Day Thirteen - May 26th -& Day Fourteen - May 27th NO PHOTOS Day Fifteen - May 28th Day Sixteen - May 29th Day Seventeen - May 30th Day Eighteen - May 31st Day Nineteen - June 1st Day Twenty - June 2nd Day Twenty One - June 3rd Day Twenty Two - June 4th Day Twenty Three - June 5th   We've begun buying tile and have our carpet picked out:  INTERIOR
