With the pad poured, the Old School Builders team were able to start working on the main deck of the house on Friday... Initially, the weather was iffy and we expected rain, but were in luck as it held off. Jeb and his team got the sill plate on the foundation walls, and were able to start the deck... Now, by "Deck" I mean the first floor of the house, which the rest of the frame will sit on.
The weather turned sour again over the weekend. Enough rain already! This proved especially vexing, as Chris Bonner had planned a "Bachelor's Bike Weekend," with our wedding looming 2 weekends away. None the less we made the best of it, and like fools hit Kingdom Trails for an incredible day of riding. It turned out to be a ton of fun, with thrills and spills all the way around. "Memorable" is the word for it, especially after we repaired for the evening to Dad's camp for a cookout, and Earl's car got hit along the road. But, that's another story!
Back to the house: The rain continued through to today, and the OSB team made slow progress until it broke in mid-afternoon. Tuesday and wednesday look good, but there is a lot to do in order to prepare for Friday. Much of the frame is assembled on the ground prior to the raising, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.
