The first wall went up today Monday May 13th. It took 8 men to raise it.
David Sangree going for another gas cylinder for the nail gun. He has not had much training but is learning fast.
All the exterior walls up and 8 feet of sheathing.
Front to the house. We left the osb sheathing long around the front doors so we could trim it to the arched entry doors when they come.
One more shot of the gang working.

Dude! probably the single biggest day for visible progress in the whole project (maybe the trusses). Anyway, looks awesome, and looks like you had good weather too. Great job!

Nice! Seems to be coming together really fast, thought probably doesn't feel like it to you guys.

Looks great! Congrats on the first wall!

Looks like rain in the forecast for the next few days...

Finally I got to go on the blog and see the progress from Trinidad.
Looks GREAT!
Miss you and all the family, but so good to see all the family here.
Joanne's house is coming along great. We moved the new furniture in place yesterday and it is looking so lovely, open and bright.
See you all on Wednesday night!
Love and miss you,
Allison
