21 Feb 2009This flight of steps is at the side of the house that gets us up to the back balcony area. So when the forms come off we will have a way up to the floor area from 2 points and no more crawling up and down for the duration of the build.pklongball00000

21 Feb 2009Today we can see the addition of a tall section of scaffolding. They brought this in today as the work on the upper sections of the steel will start and they need to have something high to work from.pklongball00000

21 Feb 2009The crawl space access is being closed in also. First a small footing is built then some blocking will be added. I also told him I wanted some vents in this area on bouth sides of the house for getting some fresh air under the house. The vents will be built to keep any and all the unwanted "guests" from entering the space.pklongball00000

21 Feb 2009The builder decided we needed the steps built now as opposed to waiting. I agreed as now we will have a way to get from the ground to the floor area without the need for makeshift ladders and stuff.pklongball00000

Raising the RoofSecond day of the roof build and we have some progress. 2 beams are now in place and by the end of the day at least 5 will be welded in place. Some other work also started on the forms for the front steps by the old foundation/beam teampklongball00000

The roof beginsThis was day one of the roof beginning. 2 men and a younger man showed up with tools, welders, some scaffolding and started work assembling our roof. I'm guessing 10 days to 2 weeks to complete the steel work and get ready for the tile.pklongball00000

Box Beams17 Feb 2009 They started the day measuring the "C" channel and cutting to length and welding pieces together to get the correct lengths and then sandwiched two pieces together to make a bx beam. Each length will span several columns to form the support for the rest of the roof structure.pklongball00000
