CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS - House #1 Florence, Colo.
Proceed to Next House
The following pictures show the progress on our house since early December, when it was finally possible to get the surveying done. Things progressed well after that, and we are now ready to install the sills and flooring joists this coming week end of Jan 12 & 13, 20011.
In a relativly short time after the surveying was done, the footing
was dug, forms installed, and the footing poured.
By that time the
snow was largely gone, and things were really looking up!
Within a week after the forms were poured, the stem wall was formed up, poured,and forms removed.
This is the beginning of the floor joist installations starting on the beautiful day of January 12th, 2001. The entire subflooring was installed that and the following day by about 6 to 9 volunteers as the temperature stayed in the 40 to 60 degree range.

The entire external framing and some of the interior wall studs were installed in one day-the 19th of December. It is planned to install the roof trusses on Saturday, the 20th.
Here you see the volunteers at work. There were 8 or 9 on the job this day and the weather cooperated other then being on the cool side, around 35 degrees.
This view shows the end trusses being installed.
This photo shows the work completed by the end of Saturday, January 20th.
It is expected that the crew will work Sunday, Jan 21, to install the roof sheeting.
The crew worked Sunday, Monday, and some Tuesday to beat a Winter storm on the way in.
Shingles are next, but had to wait for the week end snow to end. We have come this far as of Tuesday Jan 23rd.
We had a very good crew on Saturday, Eeb 3rd, so we expected to finish
shingling the West half of the roof (shown) on that date. Rough plumbing to be done the following week, and windows to
be picked up in Denver and delivered the same week.
This is the Landcaster's house as of 10 Feb, 2001. The foundation has been back-filled,
and we are ready for plumbing and window installation. Another Winter storm held us up this week.
And this is how the house looks on March 16. Wiring installed and inspected.
Plumbing installed and inspected. Insulation installed and to be inspected in the
coming week. Dry wall planned for Saturday, March 24.
This is the final product as it looked April 26, the day of closing.
A walk through is scheduled for May 12th when the public will be
invited to come and see what a nice place to live a Habitat House
can be. ( View looking North East )
View looking South East. Our first family, the Martin Lancasters,
are scheduled to occupy this, their new house, on/about May 15th.
