Things have been going forward slowly. Two of the framing crew were injured over the weekend in separate accidents, so John worked alone Monday. Ron was out all week. We hope he can work tomorrow. Bert was out Monday but able to put in 1/2 day Tuesday and all day today. He also brought along his two teenage boys on Tuesday to do cleanup and one of them came today to help with the windows. We had a framing "Shear" inspection Monday and there were some corrections needed. The plans called for an interior shear wall and the stairway got built without the shear wall being sheeted. John had to take apart one side of the stairway so he could put the OSB on the wall, then rebuild the stairway. Next, he built the interior arches. Today we had our windows delivered and began setting them in place with Bert and his son helping. We saved the big front windows for tomorrow.
The roofers worked in heavy rain Monday, came but went home Tuesday due to high winds and were able to work part of today in heavy rain again. James has recruited two more helpers so if we get a good weather day, they may be able to finish the roof.
We have to finish the tub surround surface so the plumbers can set the tub in mortar and I plan to do that job this Saturday. I met with Logan this afternoon and discussed the footing drains and rain drains. He thinks we will only need footing drains from the South side down to the low corner and my neighbor John is OK with us feeding into the existing catch basin on his property.
