This week, they put in the deck, which is the top of the basement on which the first floor will sit. I have two pictures for you. First the desk installation in progress from Friday, then the deck completed on Saturday morning.
We can now walk “into” the house and see what the view will look like from the first floor. If you are curious, here is the view. The river level is down from earlier in the year and the plants have not filled in the wet lands yet this season. That’s Daphne in the lower-right corner since today was another day of removing invasives.
No construction video this week. The first three days were boring since all the work was inside the basement. And the last two days were lost because the camera ran out of batteries.
Next week more back filling as they bring the ground back to its original level all around the house and finish putting in the foundation drain system. Then they will put in the basement support posts and start putting in the posts outside the house that will support the deck and porch.
