Monsoons are back

Looks like this will be a wet week and thus a slow week for construction. Here are some images from over the weekend showing the framing progress last week.

The unfinished space on the north side of the house.

The nicely raked front yard (to the right of the driveway). We spent some more time this weekend raking out the rocks and removing the dirt to get back to natural grade sloping away from the house.

We also did some raking in the back to remove the rocks. We need to work on back filling to have positive drainage away from the house.

This is where the stairwell will be coming up from the game room into the great room upstairs.

The crawlspace in the back of the house is all covered up!

Almost done with the floor joists and floor sheathing. Just a few joists to fix over the fireplace area early in the week when the joists arrive.

This is what monsoon season looks like! Although it seems to be especially rainy this week... We'll see if the sun comes out enough to dry this all out! Otherwise it's another week of waiting.

It's pretty easy to tell where the grading isn't level!

Mostly dry in the unfinished space.

Mostly wet everywhere else!

It's easy to tell where the garage floor slopes! (There is a drain in the bottom of the mud puddle, but it's still taped over)
