After all that June rain stretching into July and weeks of working below grade in the mud on the new foundation, I think we were all ready for a lift… when one showed up at the house one recent, sunny Friday.
The framing team had been working for several days on the "bones" of the new structure, and I think it looks absolutely beautiful at this stage.
Especially from up high! Dino (cameraman Stephen D'Onofrio) and Jerry (gaffer Jerry McGillicuddy) took Bill for a ride in the lift, and he got some great photos.
From this perspective, you can really see how complex the roof was to frame. I'd feel a lot better if Mike would get down from up there…
This was more my speed.
At the risk of sounding a bit corny, we really had an "uplifting" afternoon. And when the lift was left parked outside the house all weekend, we had to resist the temptation to take it out for a little spin. Surely no one would ever know the difference if we just took it over to the Stop and Shop for a quick errand?
