Construction Progress


July 19, 2019.  One day the foundation was put in.  Another day the framing just shot up.  Look at that guy in black shirt and gray pants walking on the base of the roof on top of the second story wall.  Crazy scary.  Japan does construction differently.  The foundation went in differently.  Now the roof went up differently as well.  In America, the trusses come prebuilt.  Here, I noticed they actually built them right on the roof.


July 22, 2019.  This photo was taken at 7 a.m.  Workers haven't shown up for work yet.  Note how they left a bundle of lumber on top of the roof.  That seemed to me kind of dangerous but obviously it never fell off.


Same day but now 4 p.m. in the afternoon.  They added a roof to the first floor over what I think is a double car garage and front room.  A lot of beams got put in place above the main roof over the insulation boards.


A closer look of the second floor roof.  Here the crane is bringing up 6 rolls of roof tar paper.
