| Second day of the house's existence, a foundation waiting for a slab to be poured |
Pouring the first couple of footings for the garage walls |
Kirkwood Community College students laying the plumbing |
A sneak peak at the plans...nice place |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Putting down the vapor barrier over the now leveled sand |
Dow board insulation--extruded styrofoam, moisture impervious, good stuff |
Pre-building the walls on the ground |
Did we get the right trusses?...Yes |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The home-owner, hard at work |
Raising walls in the rain...blech |
Oh, and mud...keeping walls from falling in the mud |
Pre-sheathing on the ground is easier too |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Exterior walls up and sheathed, interior walls up |
Raising the trusses |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Trusses are up, and the roof starts to get sheathing...a lot done that day |
Adding wind bracing and rat runs, lots of hammering! |
Last of the roof sheathing |

|
| Roofing guys doing their thing. Tar paper goes down, ready for shingles next week |
