We get to the framing on May 22, 2001.!!!!! Note: all of the photos on this site will open in a new browser window, if you click a link and nothing seems to happen it is not a bad link, look at your taskbar and click on the icon that is not indented.

	Lumber shows up about 2:30 pm.
	The first wall!!!!!!!!!!!
	We're on our way!!!!
	The windows in the pool area.
	Our accomplishments today.
	Getting our main living level floor as flat as possible.
	Joists
	More joisting
	Our driveway loaded with lumber.
	The completed joist plan. Tube in front is part of the front porch.
	The Sunday May 27th crew, Gretchen, Greg, Cicely, Me, Aaron. We just completed the decking. No osb here!
	Gretchen and Cicely adding a joist. We added some extra joists under the dining room for stiffness.
	Putting plywood on the walls downstairs. Window size is 5 feet wide by 5 feet tall. This window is in the master bedroom.
	Just about ready to stand the 43 foot wall.
	Stairs completed.
	Trusses due June 5th. We are waiting for the windows to arrive then we can stand the upper floor walls. The windows should be here any day. Notice our paths in the dirt - a lot of trips up an down the hill.
	Garage wall framing about complete.
	Getting ready to stand the exterior walls.
	This is about the only view that gives you the whole picture. If the windows had been delivered on time we would have them in as well. Jack, (in my best Mr. Rogers voice) can you say sheetrock, sure ya can, I like the way you say that, did you know that. Should be ready about August, Heh Heh
	Gretchen and Cicely using the wall jacks, we needed them on a few of the bigger walls. Once we got them figured out they were great.
	The exterior walls are complete, we will have the interior walls completed by tomorrow.
	The big picture view, Jack, "you'll love it it's a way of life."
	The interior walls are complete and we are ready to plumb and line to get ready for trusses. We are expecting them on Wednesday or Thursday June 6th or 7th.
	The future home of the Endless Pool. The space is 27 inches deep, 3 inches deeper than we wanted (I still haven't figured out that one). The floor is insulated to R-20 the walls are about the same although they are below grade so really they have a higher R value. The two black spots near the front are 4 inch abs pipes that lead to the mechanical room, the pool equipment will be located there. We will create a new tab called Pool when we get a little closer.
	Kind of a different view, standing on the top plate looking toward the kitchen, which is in the upper right. I really would like the trusses to arrive on Thursday. A lot of the obviously extra wood is bracing for the walls.
