First Floor Coming Along

The guys just keep making amazing progress! Since the last entry they have pushed out the first floor in the back of the house. The back area of the house was the dining room and our living room was in the front facing the street. With the added space in the back we are now going to make it the living room and move the dining room to the front of the house. This will be great because it will provide more room but will also give us a wonderful fireplace in the living room.


This is a photos show how the first floor addition looks and shows how they have removed the roof of the mud room to start the framing for the bedroom on the second floor.


You can see they have framed up the new windows in the back. There will be a lot of windows - we just ordered 38 of them. We are replacing every window in the house.

This is a good shot showing all the new windows that will be in the back. The existing windows on the far right will be replaced with french doors.

One nice thing is the entrance to the living room is much larger now. It really opens the first floor up.

Upstairs they have contiued to clear it out. Now it is basically just one large room. They will begin laying the walls back out in the next week or so once the remainder of the outside framing is done. They are really under the gun to get the rest of the outside framing done so they can close the house up from the weather. They are really focused on this before they do much more inside.

Wow the upstairs is a mess. You can see the stairwell at the lower right.
