On Deck!

Well...the Tate Residence is coming out of the ground quickly.  On Wednesday of last week we were able to pour the basement concrete walls.   The wall formwork was removed on Thursday and waterproofing on the walls was applied on Friday.  The structural steel columns and beams, laminated wood beams, first floor joists and plywood decking (subfloor) were delivered on Wednesday morning.  The framers were onsite Thursday and they completed the first floor joist and structural steel.  Friday they finished putting down the decking on the first floor.  They were wrapping up at 10:30 am when I stopped by.  These Amish guys are very efficient and hard workers.  They do use nail gun and electric saws...if you were curious. The site contractor was Saturday onsite to backfill and rough grade around the house.  The first floor wall framing lumber is scheduled to show up on Monday with the Framers coming back on Tuesday.  Should be vertical early next week!

I'll keep ya'll posted!
