Framing Begins

While filling in continues, framing has just begun on the house. First the wooden base layer is put into place atop of the foundations with a foam underlay. A plastic liner has been installed in the crawl space which will act as a moisture barrier (at the moment it's just collecting rain!)



The brackets attached to the frame base layer will hold the 'I' beams that support the floor.



Here are the 'I' beams prior to installation. Made out of laminated wood/compression board, they seem quite flimsy when flat but are very strong when weighted from the side.
