Meat on them Bones

The exterior sheathing starts going up. No more walking through walls :(


The roof decking goes on and another dormer pops up. Now if we could just get the yard to match the slope of the roof we could have one heck of a slip-n-slide :)


The wood posts go in at the front entry. Those things are huge! The trees they used to make them must have been at least a hundred years old. I wonder if our Dads planted them?


Check out the balcony. Soon to be our favorite place to hangout, but hopefully not fall out... Unless it's on purpose. We are planning on installing a zipline you know.


We have windows!!! Lots and lots of windows!


Jill cracks the whip and tells those brick layers to get to layin'.

Just Look at the View

You can see downtown from here (if you climb up on the roof).

These photos speak for themselves:

The House Takes Shape

You can just barely see our house through the neighbor's yard just behind our lot.


Now this is starting to look like a house!


We love the winding staircase :)


These guys could be gymnasts... They would put Olympians to shame on the balance beam.


Here's a view from our kitchen. I was doing some gymnastics myself trying to jump over all these supports holding up the walls.

Bringing up the rear.

This looks like one of those optical illusions.

The framing is done, now lets get some meat on them bones!!
