With 70 degree days in November, framing gets off to a quick start. The knee wall went in Monday and the first floor trusses are nearing completion. The last picture below shows the house from the Chanay side looking east, the front door will be located behind the truck on the left. With a quick visit to the Alderman's office today, we seemed to successfully solved the problem of cars parking right up to the lot on Chanay. The underground plumbing will be inspected this Friday so the basement floor can be poured early next week. The second floor trusses are scheduled to go in Friday or Monday depending on how the weather cooperates. Its great to see the house starting to really take shape.
Last February we (mostly me) had the crazy idea of building a home in our great city - Chicago. After some research and figuring, we decided it was somewhat doable. With a lot of prayer and some perseverance, our dream is on its way to being realized.
