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.

House Nearly Assembled

Still Friday, March 10

Almost there... The near half of the house is still attached to the crane (note the straps) and it isn't perfectly joined yet.

There are fittings low on each end (where the worker is on ladder). Here, "come-along" winches are attached to pull the two halfs fully together.

In this case, each corner of the porch needed to be jacked up in order to properly join the roof.

There's a concrete strip (the ladder is standing on it) where support will placed for the roof. But a larger slab will still be poured on the lower level, in front of the house.

This whole process, which I'd never seen done before, was quite fascinating.
