Walls!!

SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE LATEST UPDATES AND PICS!! 


9:23am Central Europe Time

Today, the house goes up. I'm so excited I may actually pee my pants. For real.
Check out that big crane they will use to put the walls in place. Reminds me of hanging roof trusses in my Bay Mills days.  The roof goes on tomorrow. Then they will finish the inside over the next month.
The scaffolding is set so as the prefab pieces slide into place, they guys can secure them.

Check back for more updates throughout the day! There will be many. 

10:21am

Well, that escalated quickly! 
Three walks up and counting. This is wicked cool.

11:09sm

First floor walls are up. Did I mention how cool this is?


2:06 pm
The 1st Floor walls are all in place, including the interior walls! They are now unloading all the materials needed to finish the ground level. 
You can see the pre-made walls for the 2nd floor on the right in the picture below. They are ready to when the 2nd floor goes up. 
The next truck is on its way with the 2nd floor walls and the rest of the materials. The fourth and final truck will bring the roof. 

We should be under roof by tomorrow. Crazy. 

4:49pm 
There has been steady activity all day, but the last few hours have been all inside work. I couldn't get in to snap photos. Not yet. But there is time for that later. The 2nd Floor walls are next in line. I will post picks in a few minutes. 

6:55pm
The Sun is going down here. This is how far we got. Tomorrow the house will be under roof. Check back tomorrow!
