Day 131 - but who's counting?

As depressing as the title of this entry sounds, at long last, the materials needed to build up from the foundation are piled high in the backyard. That's right folks - joists, trusses, and all things wood.

Framer guys were here for the past two days. The trusses showed up on Tuesday, but the delivery didn't have the joists. Yes! They delivered the material for the roof but not the essentials for the floor, on which they build the walls and then the roof (rocket science, I know). If they were going to deliver anything, why they wouldn't have started with the flooring material is beyond me. Framer guys kept themselves busy with the demolition of the rooms at the back of the house. Thankfully, the joists showed up this afternoon. Tonight, I shall pray to the patron saint of construction that framer guys come back tomorrow. Day 132 looks like it might be a winner.
