October 18th 2006 is
the start of the Panelized home process. The trucks containing
the home package are at the building site at 8:00 AM and the
drivers start to unstrap the panels that were used to secure them
through transit. The two trucks where unloaded by 10:30
AM.
Exterior walls and loose lumber for braces and top
plates.
Pictures here
are of the last bundle of panels being unloaded and the home package
unloaded in front of the Foundation.
After a
break and a snack we began the process of standing up and securing
the panels making sure they are plumbed and level. This started at
11:30 AM. During this process several panels had to be modified
because of the plumbing which had to fit in the bottom of the
panels.
MORE TO COME!!! CHECK IT
OUT!!!!!!!

openings. We are going to use the Stucco System mentioned on
the site.
STAY TUNED
!!!! October 24th 2006. I came to the
building site to make room and organize the delivery of the trusses
the next morning. On the way to the motel I noticed a truck driving
the opposite direction and had the trusses on it so I did a U turn
and met the driver at the lot. Even though the delivery wasn't
supposed to be until October 25th we decided that since he was at
the site and there was still ample light then we would unload the
trusses and get the driver back on his way home. He had driven over
1100 miles since 11:00AM Monday the 23rd. Started to unload at
5:00PM and finished at 6:30 PM.
