Second Floor Floor!

Or upstairs floor? Or second floor sub floor? How do you say that properly? Well anyway, we can now walk around the second floor!!! These guys can get a lot done in a day. We stopped by today as the crew was heading out and saw lots of progress. 

The joists and sub floor is done on the second floor and wall construction will start tomorrow. 

We were so excited to get out and see all the work that we forgot to take a photo from the car. So here is Mike looking at the ceiling in the garage wondering if a car lift will fit. 

Structure has begun

When we got back from vacation on Monday 2/12, we were eager to see what kind of progress was made the week before. Our builder had us front some money before we left to pay some of the labor costs toward framing, so we expected to see this started. Sure enough, the structure has begun and it's starting to look like a house! They even had both the front and back porches and garage floor completed. I'd say that's pretty good progress for only 1 week.

The problem is that we are running into the rainy season in this area. We apparently don't get snow, but just get rain. And boy has it. I see nothing but rain over the next 15 days. When it rains, people don't want to work. I don't blame them, but on the other hand, don't they want to get paid? The materials are okay in the rain, and the majority of the day it is only a couple sprinkles so I hope it is the cooler weather/rain combo than just the 2 rain sprinkles that disincentivizes the work. I digress... They've made a good amount of progress.
