The House that Casey (& Mike) Built

The smoke has cleared and the weather has cooled off dampening the fire a bit.

Believe or not - Casey has only been here since early Sunday. He got off the plane late Saturday night and went right to work Sunday morning. They laid out the sill plate and then goofed the rest of the day. After all....it was Sunday.
Since then they have been pounding nails (with the nailgun of course) and cutting wood like crazy. Not only do we have the lower level framed in (June 24-Day 1)....it is also sheeted ( June 25-Day 2). The overhead garage beam was set yesterday and now they are getting ready for the middle beams. Once that is complete- the garage doors will go on and the second level flooring put down. It has been busy, busy around here.

Casey walks the 6" outer walls like a monkey and bends over like a limber gymnast. I swear he'll fall off those 9' side walls but when I express my concern- he just grins. It's fun having him around.....he's telling his dad what he needs, what to cut and how do to it. Mike just does what he is told and they get along just fine.
More to come in the days ahead.

Just a few miles from the house- the greatest views unobscured by houses, power lines or traffic.
