The New Roofline



They got the roof up really quickly this week! We love the roof details with the different gables and bump outs. It's not a big square block of an addition. All the interior rooms are framed so it's neat to walk through the house now and see all the rooms. Next comes the front bump out and front porch, which will span the entire width of the house.

The House with No Top



Poor little house. It's so strange to see it without a roof. But they've been busy this week and the new roof is almost up. We'll go by tomorrow to take more pictures.

Topless!

My nice neighbor Jen sent a photo taken this morning. She kindly let us know that our house has no roof! I hope they get the new one up fast!

Second Story Going Up!



As of yesterday, the second floor didn't exist, and at 10:15 this morning, it's almost done! The interior framing is well underway, so today we went inside and could really tell how the rooms will lay out. Very, very neat. We also climbed down a ladder into the basement, which is a complete mess right now, but we're going to fix it up to be good as new. Today really felt like things were moving along.

First Floor Framing


Framing does go fast! They did this in about a day and will work on the upstairs Monday. The first shot is standing in my kitchen looking out its three windows, which will be above the sink. The second shot is from the street looking at our new family room. Jay took these pictures and said standing inside the house really gave a sense of what the rooms will look like. I can't wait to go myself this weekend and check it out.

Exposed!




The back of the house is now exposed, although it's covered with a tarp to protect it from the rain today. The first picture shows the house from the side, looking in on where the kitchen (downstairs) and bathroom (upstairs) used to be. The top of the door you see in this photo is our front closet. The second shot shows the house from the back. Pretty cool!

Jay drove by this morning and said a lot of the framing is going up, so we'll update with shots tomorrow.
