Reboot

Its been pretty stressful with the sale of our house lately and going to the Landon has been stressful with 2 dogs during a showing and not finding anything done.  Last night we didn't have a showing, so we headed out after work and left the kids at home.  We were excited to find that the framing has started.  The house next to ours which used to be a week behind us had their framing started as well.  It looks like they are going to frame them at the same time. I haven't asked yet, but it seems like the extra week ahead of schedule we had is now gone and we might be behind schedule.  I plan to ask our project manager for a new updated time table.

The framing crew installed the I-Beams and all the first floor joists.  They also un-bundled all the lumber.  There were a few weird spots we noticed.  1) there was a gap in the wall where the I-Beam and frame on one side 2) two of the joists are difference as they look like butted up regular lumber and not compressed particle board. 3) We still have a slight indent into the garage.  It's nice they are moving along, but now we have to get our house sold.

Lastly,  We had some neighbors drive past and stopped.  They informed us that there is a mixer for our street this Saturday.  That seems really cool.  I do worry how we will be received since we are a lesbian couple without kids.  Hopefully our neighbors are modern people and see us like any other couple getting married and planning a family.

Now for the pictures.....

The indent in the garage corner

Weird gap noted where the I-Beam goes.

Can you see which Joist is different?

Here is the different joist......its doubled up.

The basement has a good inch of water blowing in the wind like a lake
