The Thompson Flats- Going Up

The framing here is progressing at a great pace. We're currently working on the third floor, and should starting putting in the interior wall framing this week. We have several people working to finish the 1221 Condos, so once that project is done in the next week or so we will have even more manpower at The Thompson Flats.

Here is the view from the street. This was yesterday morning, as of now the next floor is already in place. There are several windows along the right hand wall, although we are waiting to cut out the housewrap there until the windows come from Pella in about three weeks.

Here is wall on the top floor going up along the side adjacent to the neighboring house. The entire 50 Ft+ wall was framed on the ground and then tilted up into place. I happened to be at the site to check the status and ended up helping out. That wall was heavy! Once the wall was up, it was tapped into place using a square and level, and then braced to support it until the floors above it were put in.
