Another day, another wall - or three!

Yep, they aren't all up yet, but we're getting closer. Like any remodel, there has been a fair amount of head scratching and wondering what on earth the original builders were thinking, but our framer patiently figures out what to do.  Today they finished the subfloor for the second floor, put up 2 outside walls and built the third which will be erected soon!  We decided to add another window to provide the west bedroom with more ventilation and natural light - my sister Pat will like that!

We're getting closer to closing the place up again!  The master bedroom
and bath downstairs are framed in and today they started framing the second
floor walls.  You are seeing the end of one bedroom with its door
to the porch framed in on the right and the outer wall of the other
bedroom with its windows framed in! We hope the trusses arrive Wednesday!

  1. HI Kate and Bill!
    Wow, is always the word I find myself using when I visit your blog! You've come soooo far in a week! It must feel wonderful to see the walls go up and uncover issues that you didn't like (the bouncy floor). It's too bad you weren't able to do the radiant floors... but at least the decision's been made and you can put it to rest and move on. The carpenter comes today to start installing the cabinets in the laundry/project room! We're all making progress. I'll check in again next week to see the roof on! Love, Chris Oh and have a great time in Cabo! A deserved rest!
