Sharing is caring

It's been a while since I've posted. We've had a few things going on and I've been working late and (insert another excuse here) so anyways... we've had some great progress! We're 98% done with framing. We just need to add these 8 cedar posts to the front of our house and then we can get... wait for it... INSPECTED. Here's some pictures of the progress. Please keep in mind they were taken with my phone. My camera was out of battery.

This is my kitchen without the braces on:

So go ahead and anticipate to read a blog following the inspection with why our inspection didn't pass. As I have mentioned before, it's part of those inspectors's processes. I wonder, do they like go out to your house and each time they get out of the office to go inspect, do they do something fun during their trip that would probably make them want to have more reasons to get out of the office, say... to inspect AGAIN? That would make sense of why they are always rejecting and then coming out again and approving what it seemed like they previously rejected. That being said, thank goodness I don't have this public!

So, sharing is caring is the title of this entry. Why? Well, we are using a few of the same trades- in this case, the framer- as some friends of ours a few blocks away. We were at the same place as their project a few weeks ago and they were so kind as to let us go ahead and build first and they would wait. Thank you, Jorge and Myrna!! Because of their kindness, we have progressed as far as we have and are not 2 weeks behind.
