The framing contractor arrived this week! He's been chomping at the bit to start - waiting for the concrete guys to finish up. For the most part, he can get started without interference. The loader arrived with a supply of joists, rough lumber, and hardware. Thank goodness.
So within two days of starting, the framer managed to lay in the first floor joists and quietly get under way. It's really, really a big morale boost! Of course, he complained about what a mess the concrete subcontractors left!
Meanwhile, the cantilevered concrete deck is being put together - despite the earlier blowout with the concrete boss. I thought perhaps they would "walk off the job," but instead they've managed to stay on the job. I walked over the forms and got a good look from the future deck. That was a pleasure.
