Framing & Windows



Have you ever seen a chainsaw for concrete? Now I can say that I have not only seen one, but operated one. It comes with a gas powered hydraulic pump and cuts amazingly. Dean and I enlarged the openings for 2 of the 4 windows, utilizing this amazing tool. The bedroom window and living room window were enlarged to accommodate egress as well as additional natural light and ventilation.

     The basement framing pushes on with a few days to go. Most of the walls are framed with a tricky corner finished recently. The duct work does not allow for the upper framing connection on one corner of a wall. This corner therefore needs to be tied together with the other framing members located adjacent to it. I feel we came up with an elegant solution to this problem Utilizing a false header system and tying everything together with some extra lumber and nails.
