Build a House (av)(aw)
With the foundation wall up it is time for the start of what it will be supporting.
This is a wood frame platform style construction so in order to begin they need to attach it to the foundation wall.
This is accomplished by bolting the bottom of the frame, to the cemented in place anchor bolts.
