Thanks, I have had a great couple of days.

yea, I remember many people showed up to frame. This was all planned in advance so all the materials would be on site. I told the habitat people the helpers could haul lumber if they wanted but otherwise they would be in the way and maybe would get hurt. They agreed, but said the homeowners were "required" to help so we let the lady and her older son help when we stood up the walls.

I have never met more appreciative people in my life!

Three hours:
Completely framed
Completely corniced
Completed decking
Windows installed
Exterior doors installed
Construction lock installed.

It was a hoot. We had so much fun that day. I told my framers I would pay them for their work but they insisted it was a "gift" from them.
