2nd Floor

It is starting to look like a house! I think the framers still have at least one more week of work, maybe 2. It is a lot taller than we thought it would be. I am sure that when everything else is finished it won't feel so tall, but right now it is a little shocking. We ordered windows last week, but they won't be here until mid December, so I am hoping for no more precipitation until they get here!

Framing at last

The construction loan finally closed last month!! Who knew that would be so hard. Maybe I should have consulted a professional?

After a window well saga, that I will tell you about later, we finally got to see the framing get started about 2 weeks ago. The framers have been here basically every day. The basement is framed, the first floor is mostly done and the 2nd floor is started. I am hoping that the roof goes on by next week, but the weather is starting to turn, so we will see how it goes.
