The Frame is going up.


Amazing.  I have not been on site for 24 hours and the first walls are up already.  Things are moving at a pace.  This is the great advantage of building with steel.  I just didn’t think that we would see the structure go up this fast. Remember, they started digging foundations 2 days ago.  In the photos you can see the first wall erected.  The second one went up while I was on site.  The frame is bolted down on to the foundation structure as shown in the pictures.  I will do another site inspection this afternoon, at this pace, we will be done with the house within 4 weeks.

Digging Foundations

Construction finally got on the way.   I’m extremely exited.  “We are finally doing it.”  As you can see from the pictures, the workers are digging the trenches for the rafter foundations.  All the steel for the framed house has been delivered to the site.

Jeffreys Bays First Light Weight Steel Frame House

Having Poured more than two year into getting Framed Innovations of the ground we are finally Building our first House. Most people will not find the four stakes in the ground to be anything significant, but for me it is the realization of a dream, or at least it is the start thereof.

Keep an eye on my blog for progress reports on the construction of the first LWSF house in Jeffreys Bay.
