This is the first of a multi part series of posts detailing how the threeplex will be framed. Day one has the crew arriving to set up and prepare the top of the foundation wall with a gasket and plate. They then put out a heavy doubly ply parallam beam onto the metal post and the pad footing below. By this time it was getting late so they joisted much of the first floor and have wrapped up for today. We've had great dry weather, but the lack of daylight means we are dark at 5 pm. I am sure the framers can't wait for the winter solstice to be over and longer days in 2018.
Lots of work yet to come. The machine is tied up at the other site awaiting delivery back to Killarney. Once it arrives we will see some quick progress on getting the frame up.
