Swingin The Hammer

It is interior studs time. We have carefully marked out the locations of all the interior walls on the slab and are starting to install the interior wood studs for the walls. It is a good idea to have these in place before the trusses arrive for the roof – it ensures plumb walls and a nice fit to the roof.

We are also beginning the Shotcrete process of the swimming pool:


Neil Rooney, your Blog editor, looks on as the first layer of concrete “shot” into the pool sets up. James Bussey, Oasis Pool’s intrepid owner/operator will be setting up a video camera for us this afternoon to give us a look at the building of a pool shell. This is kind of nice as otherwise you would have to come down and stand there all day! You’re welcome!!
Look for that Shotcrete vid along with some interesting info on the pool equipment in the next few days.

By the way, I am happy to tour anyone around the site that is interested in a closer look at the entire homebuilding process – just hit the “Contact Us” link at the top right and you will have me on email! If you want, you can also get an automatic update by email as new blogs are  posted – just put your email in the “subscribe by email” box on the right and we will keep you in the loop.
