Main Floor Walls

After all of the delays of the summer, between the Concrete issues and the City of Winnipeg delays, we can finally really start to get going. The main floor exterior walls shouldn't take too long to be built and then the mass of the building will really take shape.


Here the image shows where the new kitchen will go. The two windows are above the lower cabinets. The opening on the East Wall (or the one one the left of the image) will be above the sink. The opening on the North Wall (the other smaller opening) will be the drive thru pass through window. If the kids want something but mom and dad want them to stay outside...



As soon as the walls were framed the exterior sheathing is added so that there is added stability but more importantly it slows the weather penetration. It still is getting cold nonetheless.



The large yellow beam sticking past the exterior wall is not a mistake. This is how far (5'-0") the second storey room will cantilever over the main storey. The beam is actually 32'-0" long and will support the entire north side of the second floor.

This area will be in the garage and will be the new main entrance for us inside the garage. No more worries about falling down the stairs when someone else comes in the door.
