It's A Frame Up!

Well, before, our house was basically a hole in the ground, then a hole with concrete walls. Now comes the part where we all got really excited...when the framers started work!

The end of the first two days

Messy messy boys!

Like our staircase?

The truss truck had an interesting time getting into our driveway!

The trusses were picked up by a crane and, depending on their size, laid on the ground or on top of the walls.

These weren't even the big trusses!

I wouldn't want this job!

Or this one!

Halley amuses herself. "OK, wait until they're not looking and lick 'em!"



"Ha-ha, got her! Score one for the doggie!"


Gluing

"Mom! Play with me!"


"Fine, be that way!"



The beginning of our ceiling




The Great Room


The finished product (if you don't care about three windows, shingles, siding, sheetrock, etc...)


Time to go! (Halley: "Oh no, Hannah's driving! Get me outta here!")

Now remember, this happened over a period of about ten days. If we showed all the pictures, you'd be bored! :)
