The first floor is done, on to the second floor



Great progress was made on the house on Wednesday. The day began with an open basement and finished with all of the first floor exterior walls in place. Thursday was pretty much a rain out but work is back on today. This morning the floor of the second floor is going in and the walls will follow soon after. A crane just arrived to place the rafters around lunch. If you have a few minutes to drop by the house today it should be exciting to watch the house really take its shape.

This weekend should also be a busy time at THGB. The weather looks cool but dry so there will be plenty of opportunity to work. We will be taking down a tree, doing some dirt work, and probably begin the interior framing. If the exterior has dried from yesterday's rains suffienctly we would like to get the Tyvek up as well. If you would like to volunteer for a couple of hours or have all day to give to The House God Built please sign-up to volunteer or call 573-837-4047 for more information.
