Day 2

They're here!! The framers and Bill showed up at 8am to start moving the lumber into the basement in the rain. Bill walked through and made sure we were all on the same sheet of music. The noise isn't as bad as I expected, but it is loud.

The framers ran out of lumber and have called it a day. They'll be back tomorrow morning to finish the framing. All in all it was a pretty dramatic change all ready. I can't wait until the end of day 3 when the basement will really take shape.

Only one small problem today was a nail that missed wood and targeted a copper water pipe. The plumber will out later today so we should have water again in a few hours. Plumber came out and I think it was a good thing we had the leak. I was able to discuss with him options for the shower and placement of things in the bath room. So off to the plumbing supply house tomorrow to locate the shower equipment.

As a side note, we've had over 3" of rain in the last 24 hours. The creek behind the house is now a small river....
