It's Time to Start Framing
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8

The first wall - the front of the house:
While we have an 8 foot hole - we bury 3/4 pex as a potential heat sink for the under floor randiant floor heating system (possible "air conditioning"):
The last wall us put in place:

So far we are only a few days into framing the house!
