Montgomery Near The Square - House is Set!

Last Thursday, the 22nd, we set the house! It was a long day, with a few delays, but the set went off without a hitch thanks to our crack set crew and a crane operator with ice water in his veins. Our full photo gallery is available on our Facebook page:

But here are a few highlights:

 Craning the counter weights into a stack which is then added 

to the back of the crane. If you look closely, you can see that there 

are already two weights mounted on the back of the crane.

 Sling lift fully assembled and cables ready to be threaded 

through the floor joist of the box.

Threading the cables through pre-drilled holes in the floor joist.

 In the background is Box #2. The crane is repositioned to thread 

the sling cables through the floor joist.

 Box #2 is set, and winched into place. All told, the variance between 

Boxes #1 & #2 and the foundation was less than 1/8".

 Hinged roof being deployed.

 Box #3 ready for lifting.

These guys really know how to raise a roof! 

By early Friday afternoon the house is completely "dried in." 

Which means the interior, roof, and insulation are protected from 

the elements. The house can be secured by lock and key - 

no fixtures, cabinetry or plumbing is left vulnerable to theft, 

vandalism, or damage from the elements. 

Check back tomorrow for interior photos. Video clips of the set will be available soon on our YouTube Channel.
