A Few Pieces of Wood Going Into Place

June 21, 2010

Luis is starting to put the beams up for the roof above the second story.

Now, remembering back we tore down the original structure that was on the property and tried to salvage what we could. In the process that Luis uses, the beams are sanded down, stained and then protected. This is an example, and I think it could be one of the old beams from the salvage. - Look's pretty good I would say.

This is a stack of Laurel that will be used for the ceilings in the house. They are stacked this way to let them dry out. Then they will also be sanded and stained.

While they are working on the beams, other guys are working to put the coats of cement on the block walls. There will be several coats of cement applied before the finishing coat is applied.











Once the roof is on, then they will lay the floor for the lower level. Stay with us to see the finished product...
