Things are heating up!

So after a weekend of monsoons, and a week of predicted rain, we actually got done more than expected.  I say "we" like I'm the one balancing up there on a beam with a hammer in my hand and nail in my teeth.  Anyways, we ended up having several days that didn't rain much and so almost all of the framing of the second floor is done!

Here is what it looked like on Tuesday when the second floors (actual floors) were put on.


From the inside - we got some ceilings...



Compare that to the pictures from today.  Lots of progress!!!


Even more than you can tell from this angle is that you can actually get up onto the second floor and all the rooms are framed.  It was really hard to take pictures of because it just looks like a bunch of boards but...

Our new upstairs hallway (the diagonal beams are just temporary):



The view to the front door from what will be the landing (the stairs will be here):


Lilah's new bedroom - it's going to be super sweet, with cool angles:


And the piece de resistance (spelling??) is our master bedroom:


The reason it's the piece de resistance is that that entire open space will be a wall of windows out to the woods behind our house.
I cannot wait to see this all when the walls get up - it's really coming together!
