Today Kevin's guy came and framed up the Front Farmers porch. They didn't deck it as we haven't chosen our decking yet.

Eric's guys finished up the roof over the bumpout in the toy room and also worked on trim and interior walls.

Today was a cleanup day.

Today the Roof over the Toy Room was put up.

They also worked on the trim today.

Today the framing crew filled in the last section of roof between the garage and the house. It doesn't quite look like we had anticipated. I think it will probably need some tweakin...

The roof over the master bath was installed today.

The Cellar stairs were installed today. View From the Front.

More work on the roofs. We ran into some difficulty on the roof that attaches the house to the garage. The way the roofline is on the plans we would have only a 58" high doorway to access the extra space in our attic. We changed this section of the roof to a gambrel and it appears to have provided us the necessary headroom to be able to utilize the main attic. The missing section below is what is going to be done as a Gambrel.

Here is the view from the Main attic looking back at the roof of the garage over the entrance from the stairs.

The final shape of the house is starting to take shape as the Framers work more on the Roof Framing for the garage.

Here is Mom and Joe in the unfinished room over the garage.

Today the Roof Started Going up.

More Framing....Today was a great weather day for the framing crew. They installed the Gable end for the kids Bath, Began the attic stairs, built part of the Garage Roof/walls, and continued to install the Attic Floor.

Another Day of Framing the Attic Floor:

Another Hot Day!!! Framers could only stand it for a few hours but they still managed to throw up a couple of walls:

Yesterday we visited New Bedford to pick up the old pocket doors from Gramp's old house. we plan to use them in the upstairs hall to the kids bedrooms. They will need a lot of refinishing work. This morning the lumber for the second floor walls and the roof was delivered:

Due to the extreme heat the framers could only work half a day. They still managed to get some of the second floor walls up.
