This week they continued adding support to the floor joists and started laying the plywood decking that will support the first floor. (I don’t have pictures of that yet.) The excavator is also planning to come back and dig out the areas that will have crawl spaces.
We also planted a row of young maple and birch trees that will eventually hide most of our view of that commercial property you see on the right side in the first picture.
Nicholas loves this survey wheel. It marks how many feet you walk. He likes to just walk around and around the property. Once he went over a mile!
Out of all of the kids, Abby takes the most interest in the building process. She likes to look at the plans on our computer and try to get an idea of what everything will look like or go stand “on the concrete” down inside of the basement. Sometimes I print the plans on a regular sheet of computer paper and she will use crayons to “decorate” her room.
It won’t be long now until the framing starts. I can’t wait to get a better idea of the size of the rooms and see it start to come together!
