Frame Start.

After 3 days of very bad weather the framers finally made a start erecting the frame.
While sharing a quiet drink while they packed up, the lead chippie informed me that it was a "pretty good slab".
He also confirmed that it was the first Rowland 41 built, although one Rowland 34 had been finished.
The only problem - one pipe is not quite within the stud wall and will have to be moved, but will be an easy fix.

Yippee - a start!It will go up quickly now...as long as they keep working! I think these tradies are just not used to working in the rain any more! Let's hope they keep going. ;-)

Congratulations on the start of your frame! This is the fun part, for Mum and Dad as well as the kids. It'll go up quick, we had a lower frame in three days.
