Crazy how fast things can happen. You will have to tell me your secret. Perhaps you had something hanging over the concrete guy's head.  :rotflmao:

Walls are up and the rafters are set.  Builders crew is only 2 guys.  The youngest one retired last winter.  Lol.  They may be slower but darn they are accurate.  Just for fun we checked the spacing between  the wall boards.  We couldn't find any that weren't square or not exactly 16 on center.  The builder also only uses number 1 grade boards.  Part of the reason we chose them.

Looks like a regular dance floor there. Should be a great place to go to very soon.

Spent the weekend putting up all the interior walls.  The steel roof is on. Next is windows, doors and then siding.

Dad is really showing his age.  50 years of being a diabetic is starting to catch up with him.

I let my youngest daughter do all the building and planning of the interior walls.  I just helped when she needed an extra pair of hands. I let her make a few small mistakes.  She learns from her mistakes better than when I just tell her what to do.  I'm proud of her.

I can't help it...  When I frame up walls, I can't keep myself from measuring them like I'm building an heirloom jewelry box.

And then when I try to make an heirloom jewelry box, the edges and corners usually turn out looking like I built it out of 2x4s.  :doah:  :bonk:

Progress is slow and steady.  When the builders started in the spring there were 3 workers.  The youngest retired so they were down to 2.  About amonth ago the one guys wife had a heart attack.   3 days later his son was out in California for a grandkids soccer tournament and had a heart attack and died.  Needless to say he hasntbeen back to work.  The crew is down to one guy.  I told him to take his time so as not to die.  As long as he is done before the snow flies works for me.  This will be his last house he ever builds.  He is looking forward to retirement.   He thinks he'll be finished in 2 weeks.  We have our electrical inspection thursday.  Hopefully we pass the first time.  Then we can insulate and put up the sheet rock.
