On to the Second Floor

Ry started on the second floor this week. All of the second floor, floor joists are in place and, with my dad's help, all the hangers are on as well as the plywood. So after work I could actually climb up to the second floor and look out what will be the bedroom windows. It's high enough up to see another "mountain" on the other side of our neighbors house. I need to get a map up there and orient myself to see just what mountains we're looking at.

Ryan's family came out to see the house on Saturday. Pat & Ev were up from NC and came out to see the house for the first time! It's so fun to give tours - it makes it feel so real that we'll be living there soon. And now that the plywood is on the second floor and the first floor is all enclosed, it is really starting to feel like a house!

Someday the fireplace will be between the windows.
