Framing First Floor

Framing began on the house, and within a single day we went from a sill plate to a nearly finished first floor. The team of 8 Amish workers did an incredible job in  such a short amount of time. The team lead was very nice and informative. They start at dawn like clockwork, and at 3 PM sharp they put away the tools and drive home. Here are some pictures..

Victoria Falls Office and Mudroom. We switched the laundry to the office to save the mudroom.

  6. Thank you all, we are very pleased with the progress. I do have to agree the stairway to heaven is our favorite of all these pictures.. Since now they have a ceiling for the first floor, we'll never see this sort of heavenly light again from the basement. Maybe we'll frame it like newbie suggested :)
