I should first give a shout-out to two companies who've helped greatly in this all-important
portion of the project. American Home Source, located here in Glendora, brokered the
fabricated kit home to our plans. Daryl and Paul were great to work with, helping with all
the details of the kit. They typically sell homes produced by the two largest Canadian home
builders, Winton Global or Nelson Homes. We opted for Nelson to build our required
sections, along with purchasing doors, windows, insulation and drywall through them.

Keep in mind - legal, medical and general cost-of-living requirements in Canada are much
less than here in the US. I guess they've learned some of the lessons we've forgotten (or
they just haven't been overly sue-happy like us Yanks). Either way - hat's off to them for
keeping the cost way down, when compared to traditional stick building / framing (which
would have cost us TWICE as much here in the People's Republic). Thank you Canada!!!

House arrives / Day 1 of framing!

Day 2 of Framing...

So, in about 1 1/2 days of
framing, we've raised about
66% of the house. Not too
shabby!

Day 4 - 6
Ok - at this point - I couldn't keep up with day job, night job (construction), family job and husband
job......oh, and sleep job. Yes - I did manage showers and clean clothes - despite what some
may accuse me of....(smile). So I've sprinkled a few other Day 5 & 6 pictures into here.

Framing officially closed out on Saturday, July 2nd. From here on out, we'll work on punchlist
items to complete the odds & ends required. So in 14 days, we went from flat slab to raised roof.

On to Phase 4 - the mechanical installations!

Phase 3 Framing!
