Foundation Walls and a Repaired Wall

Our GC has really been working hard. And so has his crew. The concrete walls were poured and then they started working on the floor joists. Well... except not in the carport area since the wall and floor area where they need to tie into is too rotten. The crew has actually been spending the last day and a half repairing what the GC calls the worst rot and hodge-podge build that he has ever seen. 

Here is the concrete truck and pump truck pouring the foundation walls.

Here is the resulting foundation wall.

Here is the rotten wall in the entryway. The GC was amazed that the house was still standing.

Here's the same wall from the outside.

In progress. Only prayers were holding the roof up at this point. And one stud. And a post out beyond the house.

Here's the new floor framing. The new 3rd bedroom is going to be awesome! I might move into the crawlspace. There's so much room!

The GC got proactive and installed the new windows in the master bedroom. These are the most expensive windows in the house... Anderson 400 series gliders that slide both left and right.

Here's the repaired rotten roof-supporting wall.

Here's the wall from the inside. The floor is new as well and has much better support in the crawlspace as well. The header is made of the 4x8 that used to be holding up the carport before the construction started. Waste not, want not.

The floor joists in the carport will start next.
