Framing the basement

Once the basement slab was poured, Ryan, his brothers and dad and my dad started framing in the basement.  They framed the "step down" on the south side of the house first.  They also framed in the interior back wall so that the floor trusses could sit on it.  Headers (two pieces of wider wood with a piece of insulation between it) had to be built for the windows and sliding patio door.  That same weekend, they put all the floor trusses in as well.

Pow-Wow on how to get things set up for the big walk out wall.

Jaina is measuring the headers to make sure that they are big enough.
