Let the 2nd begin

So the first floor is all closed in now. What's so amazing to me is that this all happened in a matter of 2 no rain days. Man Lee - you are quick! You can see him standing on the top. When we got there today he told Adde that he was standing in her bedroom. Then she wanted to go up and get into her bed there. Nap time. Easy to see that this is the front view with our garage to the right and door/den over to the left of the picture.




Here is our huge front porch - bigger than I thought it would be but love it and huge picture window! Sorry Dad - I think someone already claimed your spot with a chair AND cooler. Might be there awhile.

Here again is the view from closer to the garage. They got all the floor trusses in in one day. And the Stairs. And the sheets to cover the floor trusses. And ordered the second floor materials. You'd think they were machines! While we were there Lee would call down to Jeff who was working with the saw. He would say something like I need a 38 inch. Then Jeff would cut somethind and hand him a board. How he knew what to hand him? Not sure - I know Beau wished I could work on this with that little instruction - I'd have probably about 22 more questions to ask.

Finally here is the view from the big picture window in the den. Beau went out last night and said the first floor is all closed up and the stairs are in- that you can walk on the second floor! THis picture was taken at 12 that day and Beau got out there at about 5. Hard to tell with the cross boards but it does look like a house! Promise! On track to roof next weekend - any volunteers ;)
