Walls Up






With the floor joists in place and the floor sheathed with 3/4" T&G, Daryl and the crew have started to stand the walls up.  Because we are going to have internal timber to support the second floor the decision was made to "balloon frame" the exterior walls.  This is the way that most houses used to be framed pre-1960 or so, but involves some very long boards. Daryl had to acquire some 24' long 2" x 6"s for the walls as shown.  Also this rainy week got the concrete floor in the workshop where the dust collection trench will be located.
