Taking it up a level

Yup, they've started on the second floor! More framing completed on floor 1, plus a few windows. Floor done on 2, as well as a few exterior walls.

We took the kids for a quick visit last night, and I'm not sure who's more excited about seeing some boards nailed together. We had lots of fun discussing where future closets and bathrooms will be, and (a top concern to the 5 year old) where we will put the TV.

Obscene number of pics:

Exterior

Future front door transom

Morning room. 

We wonder if that support beam will be slipped up into that open space? (There's also a matching beam on the floor)

Rear stairs.

Future front hall/stairs.

My office has a window (2 actually)!

Exterior walls, floor 2.

Bonus room!

Future entry.

This wall apparently has fallen and couldn't get up.

If you look closely, that's the dining room tray ceiling! 

Big entry, pretty sun

I heart the view from the morning room. No possibility of future development, so those  lovely trees will stay.

More second floor.

Family room.

Kitchen.

We noticed some little things -- like bad studs and boards that didn't quite touch. But waiting to see how these things shape up as they progress on the job. 

There's my family room face.

Rear windows. 

Morning room side.

There she is!
