Step 7 - Walls go up

The next to go up was the walls... this process only took one afternoon, and was quite interesting to watch. The girls managed to sleep through most of the hammering... until they began sawing off the roof overhang. Apparently that shook the house enough to catch their attention.

Wall 1 goes up...

What a mess! You can see missing over hang too...

Wall 2 and initial rafters go up after lunch...

Step 6 - Front Deck is gone

The front deck/step didn't take much to remove. It basically fell off the house. The new deck will be three times larger and much more stable! I don' t think those footings are going anywhere.

Step 5 - Sunroom Floor

Once the footings were adjusted to the right height, the framing of the floor moved quickly.

Step 4 - and back one step

Now that the footings are dry, the framers thought they could get started... until they realized that the ground was never leveled before the footings were poured... making some of them a few inches too high for the sub floor. This took an extra day or two to work out and a new framing crew was assigned to the project.

Step 3 - Cement

After much trial and tribulation, we finally received the permits needed to pour the cement. It took nearly three weeks!
