Framing the second floor


I drove up to the construction site over my lunch hour yesterday, and this is the scene that greeted me as I came up the hill. It is starting to look like a house!
The framers were finishing putting up the rafters for the roof (as opposed to trusses, which don't leave usable attic space). The space at either end of the house upstairs is unfinished attic; only the center of the house has any finished upstairs rooms, which consist of the kids' rooms, a bathroom, and a loft.



This 2nd picture is taken from the top of the stairs, looking east (past the kids bedrooms on the right, towards the small unfinished attic above the mudroom. You can see where dormers are going in on both sides.
The last photo is the framers, Dean and his crew (on the left is Ryan, in the middle is Luke the Blackfoot, who did not threaten to scalp me for stealing his soul!)
