More Framing - July 31
In the last 2 weeks Devin and company put on the subfloor for the upper level. Now they're putting up the walls for that level. They've also put on a little bit of the sheer plywood for the lower level. It's really shaping up!
This picture is
taken from the kitchen. It is looking down the hall toward the garage (which
isn't framed yet). To the left of the hallway is the 1/2 bathroom. To the
right of the hallway is a little hall closet, and to the right of that
is the kitchen pantry. Beyond the hallway is the laundry room and work
room.
On the left is
the same area described above. Dan Miller is standing in the kitchen, just
to the left of where the stove will eventually be. You can see the location
of the future windows. They put the shear ply on this wall before they
stood it up because there isn't easy access later. This picture is being
taken from the master bedroom. In the foreground is the sunken family room.
You can see that the floor Dan is standing on is slightly lower in some
sections (in the foreground). This is to accomodate the difference in height
between the flagstone (lower sections) and hardwood (raised sections).
The flagstone area toward the right of the picture will be the hearth for
the woodstove that separates the family room and kitchen.
This is a view
looking to the right of the kitchen at the dining room. I'm pleased at
the size of the windows in this room. It looks like the open beam ceilings
are going to be pretty high (you can tell by following the top of the wall).
The family room is to the right (barely in the picture) and the woodstove
hearth is clearly visible in the foreground.
