5/21 - Grading and roof framing

The excavators finished the septic system and the site grading today. They also repaired the damage to the driveway caused by the heavy equipment. It is smooth once again. Framing continued with completion of wall sheathing and roof framing. We were hoping the roof would get decked today, but that will have to wait until next week.

Eli, Asa, and I (grey) are planning on spending the night at the tree house on Saturday.

Looking up from the living room to the second floor.

5/18 - Backfill

Not much has changed on the carpentry end. A couple new interior walls went up along with the floating balcony. Big news yesterday was back fill. Although the site still looks like a dirt pile, at least that dirt pile is neat. :) Septic tank was going in today but we did not make it to the site to see. Tomorrow the carpenters are back on the job.
All graded!!

5/16 - Roof Rafters

The roof rafters went up on Friday. Most of the interior walls on the first floor are framed. Hoping to have a decked roof this week. Also the excavators are returning this week for back fill and grading.
