Week 9 - Ground floor framing

On the weekend I patrolled the site with my trusty measuring tape, checking that everything was properly aligned!

The framing timber (blue treated pine) was delivered bright and early Monday morning and the boys didn't waste time unwrapping it. The walls are framed the ol' fashioned way, assembled lying on the ground then lifted up, positioned and secured.

Progress was slow but exciting this week. There weren't many guys on-site due to some milestone on another of our builders' projects, but as each room went up we walked around in it and pretended to live there to see how it felt.

Having the framing up made the rooms seem tiny! I think they will get bigger once the wall sheeting goes on. At the end of the week the timber was delivered for the ground floor deck, so I guess that's coming next...
