Dimanche matin

Thanksgiving weekend

The crew is working. A lot of rain and wind but the 2nd floor walls will be up tomorrow. Big week coming up with trusses arriving on Tuesday.
Long weekend de Thanksgiving (Action de Grace) mais l'equipe est au travail. Beaucoup de pluie et vent aujourd'hui mais ils travaillent sur les murs du second etage. Demain les murs seront en place. Une grosse semaine en vue avec la charpente qui doit arriver mardi. La question est de savoir si le camion aura la place de passer par le chemin.
La maison devrait avoir un toit d'ici la fin de la semaine. Tant mieux, la neige arrive...

Wednesday, pre-Thanksgiving

It doesn't look like things are changing... but it does! The concrete floor has been poured and the second floor is being framed.

On ne dirait pas mais ça avance... le sol de l'entrée en béton a été coulé et les murs du second étage sont en preparation.

November 18, 2009

Building is bare!
Jeremy is on the excavator, filling around the garage wall foundation.
And Jim and Tim are starting to work on the structure.

tub anyone?

poor tub, all by itself now...

bye bye old house

It's coming along... now the structure is almost gone. The material for the new structure is expected anytime now! Dardano's crew is there and is getting ready to build.

Foundation... that's the base!

Emery Pelletier from C&E Earthworks (207-615 1802) in Falmouth, ME worked on the excavation for the garage and organized the concrete work. Excellent work! He is also in charge of the septic system that will be installed in the back.

The design for the septic was done by Brady from Frick & Associates in Gorham, ME. Very clever and very nice to work with him.

Fun and Dust...

And there was a lot of dust... demo is done! Or almost... the structure and roof will be brought down by Dave Dardano and his crew later.

Patricia and I are working on material selection now (kitchen design, doors, hardware, flooring...).
