Day 31 – Back to framing
Due to the Christmas holiday, there was about a 6 day hiatus in framing. In the interim our builder was working on the siding and roofing estimates.
After another day of framing, all the first floor joists are up and about half the sub floor is in place.

I think we’re starting to get an idea of the scale of this thing! Because we were so adamant about getting a full basement in the new house, the first floor is quite a bit above grade. Some of the added height will be masked by raising the grade of the lawn about 8″ and adding a front porch and rear deck, but looking at it like this really makes it look a little awkward.

I climbed up on the first floor and could start to get a mental picture of the size and placement of the rooms. I can already start to see how we’re going to get the nice and open atmosphere we were really pushing for.
