Starting to Frame

We've started to frame the house on July 16 when we returned from vacation. Rob, of course, had the lumber ready to roll at 7 am for our framing crew, August Construction.

Michala came to view the start before she leaves for camp for 4 weeks at Fernwood Cove.

Here in our basement, Rob puts several sills to get the basement ceiling at 8'4" in height.


The first deck and subfloor goes in and the house looks like a HUGE airplane!



Rob works with Ricky, the brains of the August framing operation, on confirming the ceiling height of the entire house which must be under 35 feet per Sudbury,Mass building code.
Ienjoy walking on my new flooring in my work boots - a requirement for all family members visitng the job site per the builder - Rob.




Our family room starting to be assembled....


It's starting to become a house from the front view and street....

Looking through a wall to our future kitchen...

And a view from the living room to our meadow. A future window wall...

And here's the back of the house. You can see the basement walkout, future sliders and windows, and first floor shaping up!
