Farmhouse Addition - Week 1 - Framing

Spring is finally here and that means the start of framing the addition!  Even with the on-and-off rain this whole weekend, we still managed to accomplish quite a bit!

Lumber Delivered:

The first thing to frame was a small knee wall supporting the mudroom/pantry/powder room floor in front of the garage.

1st Floor Knee Wall:

After that came installing the 2x8 floor joists spanning from side to side.

And here are some pictures as of the end of the weekend!
