Progress Part II




Day 1, The existing 1 story 750sqft bungalow -
Stripped to the studs, the bungalow is now naked to the world.
New Slab ready to be poured - A lot of dirt was moved and packed to get to this point
Third floor framing begins and stair tower climbs higher
Third floor framing progresses with the addition of roof members
A view from inside the stair tower looking straight up
After the slab was poured we added the new laundry room and bedrooms to back of the house
Day 36, Second floor beams installed. With out a crane three members of the crew wrestled the 500-700lb beams into place.
After the second floor was in place we began to erect the stair towe

Crane day: The crane made our jobs much easier: By lifting the remaining material to the second and third floors our backs were saved for another day
