1st Floor Walls Go Up

After a weather delay of a few days (snow, then wind), the construction crew got started placing the 1st floor walls on the foundation. This is a big day, with lingering uncertainties over whether the walls and foundation will properly fit together.

Moving the walls to their proper places on the foundation.

Walls laid out next to the foundation. All you have to do is pick them up and nail them in (ha !).

Note the center support column - this holds up the 2nd floor.
