High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

Half-View of House

Inside a modular house, with basement and a loft. This is a look into the anatomy of the thing. There will be stairs that connect each level, making quite a versatile space.

The treated green wood atop the foundation (foreground) wasn't available anywhere near there, so I got a call asking if I'd bring some. The crane was coming tomorrow (which was Friday). The other problem would be to find people who knew how to install the boards to finish off the foundation, and get it done in time for the crane.

I got there with the wood on my trailer on Thursday evening and the crane was already set up, ready for business. By morning, people had been found, and the crew on hand was very helpful! Everybody pitched in, and people were found to install the top of the foundation. The house was craned on about a minute after they finished, and this was around noon.

Cranes must cost about a million bucks, and they DIDN'T want theirs to sit unproductive for an extra day. Besides that, the whole crew wanted to get back home. They were very determined to get the job done, and they did.
