Framing Day 2

On Day 2 I left my brother on his own as I had to go to work. I expected him to get about half of what was left done and he had that much done by lunch! By the end of the day he was almost done. The only things left are the wall under the beam that splits the two rooms and the two little walls off of that where I'm going to build a custom entertainment center and bookshelves. I will take some more pictures tonight of the completed framing. Looks like we'll have plenty of wood to take back to Menards. Not sure how I totally screwed up the estimate, but oh well...

I took some time last night to mark where I want lights (all can lights) and where I want the electrical outlet. Once he finishes framing I told him to go ahead and figure out how much wiring and stuff he needs and to keep going. I budgeted him for an entire week, might as well keep him going. Maybe he'll be able to get through the wiring and insulation this week and drywall would be just around the corner. I think the drywalling is going to be a 2 man job on the weekends.

It's coming together!
