We've Got Walls!

We knew how efficient it was to have the house built in panels but we were still astounded that in less than an hour and a half we had all exterior walls nailed in place! 
.
Early Monday morning a truck, 1 trailer, and a truck with a crane arrived on site from the factory in Auburn.  One truck had all our interior walls banded together into 2 stacks.  The truck with the crane had all the miscellaneous materials from 4x6's to deck hangers.  And the trailer had all the exterior walls with siding, windows, and doors already attached.
.
When everything was set, the first wall was lifted with the crane.  Watch!

.
Wonders of today’s techniques, a crane, a capable operator, and hard working framers.  
4 hours after the exterior walls, all interior walls were nailed into place.

Stay tuned!
