The framers started work on Friday Day 40 and made a lot of progress in a few days. On Friday they installed sill plate on the basement wall and silent floor girders for the 1st floor addtion.
2 guys worked on Sunday and got the 1st floor walls up, including fitting some of the support beams in existing walls to support 2nd floor.
On Sunday one of the framers accidentally nailed his foot to the floor. He was wearing steel toe boots, but he accidentally bumped the nailer just past where the steel toe ends. His buddy pulled the nail out with a pair of pliers. Once we got his shoe off we were amazed that the nail missed bone and tendons, and only went through meat next to ball/knuckle for the big toe. Lisa came home at that time and cleaned him up and bandaged him and I gave him a fresh pair of socks. He insisted on continuing work for a couple more hours. Tough dude.
Anyway, can now start to see the outline for the new kitchen and family room - JM.
