East End Carpentry

We've been busy working on our new project and i haven't had time to post. The heavy demolition is done and we've reframed to back portion of the house including the three story stairwell. most of the interior framing is complete and we're moving along with massive door and window framing. We also removed most of one side of the roof and await the delivery of our 30 foot ridge beam so we can build one of the dormers. soon we will add 2 1/2" of insulated exterior siding and insulated sheathing for the new roof.

More progress at the mill. Today we wrapped up all the cedar shingles.

So, it's been awhile since I've posted anything about our progress on the farmhouse.
There's been a ton happening and things are progressing nicely.
Most of the siding and trim is complete on three sides. Finally, the excavation work for the basement is finished and the stem walls and slab got poured. This ended uo taking about a month, which is slower than we wanted, but finally we are able to frame the new sections, which we are currently doing and should have finished by the end of the week.
The new leach field has been dug. Septic in and seeded for grass.
The walls for the first floor, floor system for the 2nd floor are and the subfloors are complete too.
Next week we frame the upper walls and roof sections, which will allow the roofer to do his thing.
Coming up soon we have electrical, plumbing and insulation.
We get a lot done for a crew of three people.
I've added descriptions to the photos as well.

Updates from the farmhouse:
We have all new joists and subfloor on the first floor and new supports where needed underneath. The water filtration tanks for the well are installed, but not yet active.
We had to replace some sill and rebuild an exterior wall.
We've framed for all new windows and started horizontally strapping the walls with 1 1/2"x 1 1/2" , which allows for more dense pack insulation and creates a straight plain for drywall. All of the exterior sheathing has been nailed back in and replaced where needed. We keep filling dumpsters, but at a much slower rate.
Next week should be big. The excavator is going to pull down and haul away the existing ell. We are hoping to re-use the stone foundation pieces for porches and steps elsewhere. Soon after that he will start digging and prepping to pour the new foundation and we can build the addition.
