First Floor Framing


A lot has happened this week, despite some days off for Christmas and frigid windchills.  Here's the new view coming up the driveway.

My "little" brothers hanging Tyvek against the wind.

The bathroom.  (Still a little drafty.)

Giving family tours. 

My new schoolroom.  A few more walls will be necessary to keep the students corraled.  The front door is just on this side of the school room, and the stairs to the basement will be under the blue tarp.

Brothers looking out the future living room windows.

Master bedroom on Right; nursery on Left.  Our J. and A. got to help the builders raise one of those outside walls on Thursday.  Something they won't forget.

View out the front door.


See--  husband's garage is already cleaner. 





Pretty lawn ornament.

Grandpa getting a tour.  (Two engineers talking structure.)

'Twill be another short week, due to the New Years' holiday, and windchills at -25 degrees.  I know the builders are eager to keep moving; plans are to finish raising the outside walls as soon as the weather permits.

Meanwhile, we'll be taking the kids to some indoor mini golf and out-to-dinner; a welcome family day before everybody's back to work and school!

    1. And, I would like to add, that this is your cousin Anna. Not some stranger named "Annabella" who is creepily watching your house go up. I need to figure out how to change that, so, in the future, I don't look quite so... whatever word describes the self-delusion someone might be suffering from when they randomly tack on a "bella" at the end of their own name.

    2. Dear Cousin Bella: Your suite will be awaiting you. Do you require such luxury accommodations as a bed and a towel? Thanks for checking in!
