Siding and Roof is on

There has been a lot going on within the last week on the home. The roof is complete, all of the soffit and fascia is on, and the siding is done. The siding is called LP smart side. This is a wood based siding that carries a 30 year baked on paint finish. Gary and Travis have gotten started on staining and varnishing the interior wood windows. It shouldn't be long before the drywall gets started.

Two Days Framing

Topics: 

Well, here we are in day two of framing on Pinnacle Point. Second level deck and walls are in place, and roof trusses are getting started. This is one of the many great things about panelized construction. The speed of this process will allow our crews to have this project under shingles on Monday. Not too bad for four days of working.

Today we took delivery of the home in Hillsboro, IL. This home is located in Pinnacle Point Subdivision on Glenn Shoals Lake. The delivery time was around 12:30 pm and construction was underway. Although we had an hour rain delay, construction took place immediately following. As you can see by the pictures, progress went well. The framing crew packed up for the night around 7:00 pm and had already gotten the 1st level deck floor and walls in place. Tomorrow we will be putting the 2nd story floor and walls up and hopefully a good start on the roof trusses. Not too bad for a day and a half.

The cabinet installers have completed and the owner will be moving into the building this weekend. The total time on this project was two months and 5 days from start to finish.

It is a very efficient way to do home construction. Total project is 960 square feet with a price tag under $90,000.00!
