From one story to another...

The framers continue their work and we are getting a good feel for the 1st floor spaces.  My good friend Vince visited last weekend and helped hack out some more trail through the scrub and thicket, getting about 30 yards before my lopper broke and the machete dulled....oh, well, we went sailing instead.  My father is now visiting from Hemet, California and we all travelled down on Friday to see how it's coming along.  This is what we saw...

The 2nd floor is decked out, the 2nd floor front wall is up.  We will probably alter the driveway approach during finish grading.

A closer view of the front.

View from the 2nd deck towards the back.  Jenny climbed up the ladder for the shot since the stairs have not yet arrived.  Looks like it will be a pretty nice view into the forest, but unfortunately, no view of the lake or the farms beyond.

The 2nd deck looking towards the front, master bedrm on the right, guest bedrm on the left beyond the "stairs railing".  Master bedrm will get the morning light, master bath faces south so good light throughout the day.  Guest bedrm and bath will get the late afternoon light.

The living room viewed from the entry.

View from the living room towards the dining area, then the kitchen beyond.

****

View out the living room window towards the south.  This will be a three double-hung window set.  The dining room will have a matching two double-hung window set.

Next up, second floor takes shape...
