Basement Wall Framing – April 27^th, 2021

Due to scheduling conflicts and delayed materials delivery, it was a week following completion of the foundation before the wood framing of the addition could start. That was actually not so bad because we had a little bit of gentle rain during that time, which was good for curing the foundation’s concrete. Finally April 27^th dawned bright and clear. The framing crew arrived early, and began preparing the new basement foundation to receive the wood-framed walls. They had to knock concrete slag away, remove the form boards, and in a few cases relocate or add concrete anchor bolts. At mid-morning, the lumber was delivered, and the framing crew set about laying out the basement sills, and anchoring them down. By the end of the day, the two basement wood-framed walls were standing and ready for hanging of the addition floor joists.
