Moving up in the world

Things really moved along last week. The first big change was the ability to get from the basement to the main floor without going outside and up the bank. Yep, that's right, I've got stairs. It's really nice to not see an empty space where the stairway is suppose to be.

I came out Friday morning (12/7, remember Pearl Harbor) to the sound of a large truck in my driveway. I was greeted by the sight of a crane truck and 40' trailer full of trusses. This was a little surprise sense the second floor was not yet done. Turns out only 2 of them were for my project. Oh, and for you people that think my driveway is a pain, the truck driver backed his load all the way up the hill!!!

The other thing that got done last week was the Great Room walls. These are full two story walls. Wow is it a long way up! Here they are still under construction.

So far this week they have got the 2nd floor decking down, started framing the 4 decks and begun framing the fireplace in. Can't wait to see how far they get by the end of the week. I'm told trusses are suppose to be here next week so I may even have a roof on by Christmas. Stay posted!
