Frame and Block, Frame and Block




The framing continues and the blocking is unending. Blocking is all the little pieces of wood that holds the framing together. I didn't know that, maybe you didn't either. Siding and trim have been delivered as well as our new HUGE picture window. The rest of the windows were here but were delivered as replacement windows instead of new construction windows so back they went for some rework to make them acceptable to our trusty contractor. The guys have also begun sheeting the outside and putting up tyvec (?) - plastic - to keep the wood dry. A good thing since we have begun to have a lot of rain. The crawl spaces and existing basement have flooded once already making for a long ugly night of clean-up. James says he has fixed what caused that so we should have no more surprises there. We really need a roof now but the forcast gives us only a day or two at a time with out rain.
