General
Information:
Generally,
not much help is needed with excavation, but
a lot of help is needed setting footers,
moving gravel into the interior of footer
system, and pouring cement into the footers.
Assistance also is needed moving concrete
block-to-block layers.
Once
the masonry work is completed, it takes a
day to get the floor beams
started and the decking on the floor.
After that, we put up walls, roof trusses,
roof sheeting, and put the felt paper on the roof.
We will then either shingle the roof or complete inside work,
depending upon the weather.
