More Pictures

This was the day they placed the walls. January 2, 2009. Here is a picture of the sunrise - I can't wait to see all the sunrises from my bedroom window!Here are the walls arriving! It was about 7 am - the Thermacore guys drove up from Jefferson City, MO overnight. The same guys who built the walls drove them up and put them in place. This allows them to see exactly what happens in the field as they are putting them up, and then they can keep getting better and better each time they do it. Below is a picture of the crane in place getting ready to put the walls up.This is the first panel being set into place! this is along the back wall of the garage. The next picture will show you how the panel fits onto the foundation wall.

Everything fits together with grooves and then is pulled tight into place and then nailed or screwed together. So, the panels fit over the base, then they slide into the next panel, then they pulled them tight, and then nailed them to each other. This allows them to have strength, to prevent air and weather getting through. I'll add some more pictures from this day in the next post!
