December Framing Progress For Real!

Yay! The house smells like lumber because the framers have been building our new walls! Yipee! Hooray! Hurrah!

1st floor bathroom has fresh new studs.

Oh, strange, there is no floor in what used to be
the 1st floor kitchen. Note the giant hole to
Chris' right!

We have a hallway on the 2nd floor! We have a new
(tiny) linen closet that I am creeping out of!

Look at all those new walls! Yahoo! This is a view from the
sunporch to the front of the 2nd floor. Oven is still a
key feature in our future bedroom. You can see the new walls
for our future bathroom and closet on the righthand side.

The giant hole in the floor is a fancy feature
not everyone can have one of those!

The upstairs bedrooms have the closet wall separating them
now! Yay! The look/feel of the 2nd floor is really
taking shape.

The interior window in Chris' office
has been framed! The office is finally
taking shape!

Early December Framing.....errrr.... Demo Progress

December has meant lots of progress on the framing of our house, well really - the framers have been busy continuing to demolish our house! How can there be more to remove/destroy/take out?!? We feel like Christmas came early because we see progress every time we visit.

Check out the photos to see what's been going on......

Loving seeing the framers there each day. Sometimes there
are as many as 12 of them working at any given time.
Zoooooom!

This is a view from the old 1st floor master bedroom (future
family room) looking up to the wall that will become the
mudroom. I'm trying to show that the exterior siding is still
hiding under the walls; reconfirming what we knew - the
back room was an addition to the home in the 1960s.

I realllllly like the sweet broom one of the
framers made out of a hockey stick :)

We got even MORE wood delivered!
I would be thrilled, except more lumber
at this point means more $$$. Ah well.
This is all part of the experience.

Dumpster on the left, giant pile of rubble on the right. Why
isn't the rubble in the dumpster?!?

The 1st floor bathroom used to be here;
the walls, even the studs, came down. The floor
including the subfloor has been removed.
It would be really hard to find more to
remove here!
