I found the picture below in my archives. It was taken on 9/4/2002 and show the land where our house is now back 5 years ago. As you can see it used to be a tobacco field.

First Floor Framing

The framers have gotten the plywood down on the first floor. You can now go out and walk on the floor. It really seems high up on the ground and due to the trenches around the basement there are some big drops.

You can see in the image below the progress the framers made at the first of the week.

The picture below show the floor with plywood. You can also see one of our steel beams on the ground.

This picture shows the front and rear walls that the framers began working on at the end of this week.
They estimate that the first floor will be completed by the end of next week.

The framers have got a couple of walls in our basement and are now working on the Floor. Rain has been a major factor and the construction site is a huge mud hole now. Things are going nicely though.

The picture below is taken from the basement garage door. You can see the wall that was framed in.

Here is the framing crew working away on our house:
