Finishing the Framing

Today was the final day of framing.

Here's a walk through of the framing work, including short explanations of staggered studs, thermal bridging, space efficiency.




Here's a homemade 'music video' of the crew putting the final window into place.

Putting a Roof Over Our Head

The framing is almost complete! All that is left now is to put in the windows.

Starting next week, we’ll be putting in the windows, and beginning the electrical work and doing the rough plumbing. In the last couple days, we've placed the sheathing on the roof, finished framing out the windows and skylight.

For those of you in the Portland area, I hope you are able to come to the first open house on Sunday from 12-2pm. Here’s more information about it. This will be the construction phase open house, where you will get to see the completed framing work. If you're not able to make this open house, fear not. We'll have one or two more of them in the next three months.
