The framing crew began the morning with construction of the individual panels that make up the perimeter walls. The crew moved with amazing speed to first construct the bones of the panel with studs and stringers, allowing for the placement of doors and windows. The panel is covered first with plywood, then with one inch Dow blue-board, and finally with Tyvek housewrap. The openings for windows and doors are cut out before the completed panels are lifted into place by the crane. By quitting time all exterior panels, including the garage, had been completed and nailed in place. Tomorrow the crew will build the interior walls.
