Our six plus week battle with structural issues looks to nearly be finished. We've had a moment frame installed at the back of the house, a steel beam inserted in the floor below the fireplace, and some random steel support poles placed throughout the house to ensure its structural integrity. Apparently the design was a bit too open and needed some modification. Fortunately, we did not have to change much of the home's design in any way but it did add to the budget - booo.
This is the moment frame supporting the rear of the house.
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.
