Bad timing

Instead of starting early in the week when it was sunny, dry, and above average temperature they waited until dreary, rainy, Friday.

We were wondering if it would be a two story house since it had a small footprint: now we know.

Two days work.

Impressive pace! Then again they seem to have a large crew.
Around here these days you'd be lucky to get three good workers on one build...

Cheers!

Two days work.

When I was in high school I took a year long class in building trades.
We built a house in a new subdivision, there was twelve of us plus the instructor.
We started with an open hole, dug the footings, helped with the pour (puddling), framed it, sided it, roofed it and did all the finish work. It was a 2300 sq ft two-story with a two car garage.

Next lot over was empty, when we started. The day we started laying down the first floor joists and rim-joists, the crew next door (5-6 guys) had an excavation, no concrete yet.
By the end of the first day after the forms came off they had two stories with walls standing. Similar model to ours. End of day two they had a framed roof with paper down. We were still standing-up the first floor walls.
It was such a sharp contrast to see the pros at work, compared to total novices.
Truly impressive.

So painfully true as I can attest based on my own house.

8, maybe 10. They knew what they were doing.
