Maple Ridge Construction


2/26/08 2:00-2:30 p.m.

Maple Ridge is currently working on expanding their supply of their popular 4 person townhouses. A lot of construction has already started and been erected. I hear it every morning because it wakes me up. However this is a good chance to watch the whole entire process of a familiar townhouse.
In this picture you can see somewhat the desired goal.








Not too much action was taking place in the lot directly to the left of the erected townhouses. But here you can see they are excavating the huge slope into a flat, workable lot to build on.










Here you can see the CMU blocks which are built on top of the concrete foundation. This is in between the previous plot picture and the townhouses which were in the first photo.









This construction is to the right of the townhouses in the first picture. As you can see workers are putting 2x4 s into place for the main building frame. One worker is on top nailing down the top 2x4. The others are placing down sheathing on the floor.











Once the framing is complete, workers will place side sheathing. This picture shows what will be the next couple of steps.













I took this photo to point out the heading. This is done so that it will support the area in which a large window will be placed, probably for the main living room area.
