Rowhouse framing part 3 - the concrete monster and second floor structure
We snuck in the firewall pour and it was a timely bit of progress, as the weather is truly hideous for the foreseeable future. The framers were back at it today to try and salvage a little progress this week, and installed much of the second floor structure on the third unit.
The cribbers returned and stripped the forms, stacking them for re-use later on once we are ready for the final pour. With Christmas break upon us, I think this will be my last progress update until we get through the inspections at the semi-d, or somehow the framers work through the cold after boxing day. I will also be composing a year in review type post, and that will be it for 2017. Merry Xmas everyone!
The second floor joist package is going on now. The mass of the building is starting to take shape, for some reason this one looks different than how I'd imagined it. I must be a terrible 3d visualizer. This will be an interesting building once I get the finished exterior work done. I'm attempting to get over my cowardly nature when it comes to building colour.
The concrete monster is 2/3 complete. Words can hardly describe how awful this wall is and how much worse it will be once we get to the top.
