Framing nears completion

We installed the floor joists and plywood just before Christmas which allowed the basement to retain heat to enable the concrete slab to be both poured and cured. We poured the basement slab in some brutal sub zero temperatures.

Last Friday we had the walls delivered pre-assembled to enable us to erect them with a brief exposure to the winter's elements.

We set individual wall sections in place with the crane and held them up with metal wall braces.

By noon we had all of the exterior walls standing in place - a task that would have taken us two weeks framing them on site. We could focus on other clients and interior projects that needed to be tended to. Amazing.

Your grandpaw Porter would roll over if he saw walls delivered by a crane -- us real men framed thru the winter (LOL)

I'm so glad to have gleaned so much from all my predecessors. As I watched the thermometer struggle to get as high as zero, I felt great warmth knowing that my walls were being squared and built on a massive table. I miss my clan of previous Porter generations around here.
