Construction October 4th

We had a busy weekend in Toronto visiting family and friends but now we are back in Bancroft and our construction continues. Tomorrow the roof trusses arrive so today the crew worked on the top sill plate and started the deck off the east wall.

Here TJ and Jeff check for level on the sill plate.

The bracing has been removed and the house is looking much cleaner.

Dave works on the far wall making sure everything is level and true.

Our deck starts to take shape.

The blue strip in the bottom right of the picture is snow and ice shield covering each beam. Now that's attention to detail, so typical of the workmanship here.

Kent lays down another strip of ice shield.

Looking across the south wall; can't wait until we are actually inside.
Thanks for stopping by. I'll post pictures tomorrow of the roof trusses being delivered.
