This is a chronicle of our quest to build a new home for our family, from start to finish.

A little work today

To my untrained eye, not much got done today. There are some new 2x4's up in the first floor framing, which I figure are temporary supports so that second floor decking can start. Many 2x12's are in place on top of the existing framing, and I figure they cut all of those today and will nail them into place tomorrow. The main beam in the garage was also put in place. In some other houses, with considerable living space above the garage, this beam was steel. Since most of the space above our garage is not living space, I guess wood suffices: three 2x12's nailed together. The steel columns are not yet in place, but if I'm right and those have to be done before they add the weight of the second floor decking, they'll likely get to those tomorrow, too.
