Blocks, Bucks, and Walls

This is "The Big Red Truck" delivering the next set of blocks for installation. The blocks used will form the 1st story and part of the 2nd story walls. Rumor has it, that the Big Red Truck, has "come out of retirement" so it can contribute to this noble cause?



Today we installed all window and door bucks. Then we assembled the courses that are the 1st story walls, as seen in the photos. The process has been likened to working with - "large Lego blocks," because of the ease with which they fit together.













1st Floor Wall Assembly

These photos were taken at the end of the day - Tuesday the 23rd. Delivery, installation, and walls.


I originally shot this photos because I liked the lighting, the sun really gave a different feeling to the house. However after looking at the photo, I thought, it is difficult to know if traditional block or redi-form foam block is being used.
