The second floor is up!


Construction continues at a breakneck pace today. The exterior of the first floor has been completed and framing of the interior has already began. Roofing of the single floor portion of the house has also started. The exterior of the second floor is complete and the rafters are about to go up. We also found out that the roofing materials are being donated and delivered today so we will do the roofing tomorrow. Anyone who can roll out tarpaper and lay shingles is definitely needed.

Tomorrow we will also continue with any interior framing that needs to be completed, install windows and exterior doors, and wrap the house with Tyvek. Making the house weathertight as soon as possible is a top priority.

We will also do some dirt work and take down a tree. As was mentioned in an earlier posting, we need skilled and unskilled laborers, those who would be willing to assist with child care of those working on site, cheerleaders and cheerfollowers. If you fit into any of these categories please sign-up to help at http://www.thehousegodbuilt.volunteerhub.com/ or give us a call at 573-837-4047. Hope to see you tomorrow!
