house: framing begins!

Published Nov 26, 2007

We used the long weekend to frame in the addition on the side of the house.  It was a bit more intensive than I thought at first, but we managed to finish it before the rains came. 

Check out my photo gallery to see pictures of this project in process!

What a wonderful project and to think of the pride you will have in the house when it is complete!

I tell you I have great respect for builders. I've worked on numerous Habitat for Humanity homes and I've learned measure 3-times and cut once.

Good luck with your house.

hey!...it is looking great! :-)

I have already planned to write messages inside the walls before we sheet rock. A friend suggested that we also take a photo and sign/date it and place it within the walls. I like this idea!

I have the utmost respect for people in the construction industry! Especially those who do renovations. It's one thing to build from scratch (the walls went up easily). But tying it in to the house and all the repairs necessary to do this have taken a bit of imagination and thought! Still, it's fun and we are learning every step of the way!

thanks rockinhorse for sharing all this. i have been watching this all along. really good stuff. thanks again.
