The plumber and the electrician have been at the building site to place what they need under the floor before it is poured this Friday. Late last week, the footings were poured that will support the deck and porch areas. In the first photo, the area that is being poured is where a main support beam will be placed in the center of the house. Our builder said this base needs to be very strong, as it will be supporting 40,000 pounds. The two steel bars sticking up through the concrete in the second photo will be the base of the main support beam. The beam will be inside one of the walls once the house is built so it won't be visible.
This third photo is the wall panels that were delivered the other day. They are stored at the nearby gravel pit for a few more days until the floor is done. The balance of the roof trusses are supposed to come this week also and will be stored at the same area.
Here are just a couple more photos - it was a nice evening (Aug. 27th). Here's the left side of the house (septic filters are the green objects in the corner of the photo):
The right side of the house - (the builder's trailer is parked in what will be the garage):
More later!
