| Framing starts in earnest. |
|
| Prior to placing large beams or support columns,
damp proofing underlay is placed under each post on the concrete
slab. Additionally a spacer over the damp-proofing (as seen
in the inset image) may also be required to accomodate finished
flooring thickness. |
|
| The 1st basement post is placed with the help
of the crane truck. |
|
| Here are some pictures showing
a log accent post incorporated into the traditional framing
construction used on the basement.

| Another photo demonstrating the wall framing. |
|
All posts are up, connnected and further
supported with additional temporary cross bracing prior to
subfloor installation, which ties together the structure ... |
|
| ... subfloor is loaded onto the beams by
the crane truck, ready for installation. |
