Ready for floor joists!
The first 2 posts are set!
We've been back to work on the house the past couple Saturdays. We've hired our carpenter/neighbor to help us! Wow... is he great!!!
In the pictures above (not quite in order!), you can see the posts up and the beginnings of floor joists for the 2nd floor porch.

Back to Work!
We're working on the porch now.
We'll have a two story porch which will tie into the roof line.
I'm way over due to post a photo. Try to get to that soon.

House all enclosed...
We worked for about a week and a half to put up all the remaining sheathing on the outside of the house. It's all enclosed done now.
We've switched gears to getting taxes done and also to create about 600 pillows for our breastfeeding pillow business.

Attic floor is done!
We've been working on putting up the sheathing. It is definitely a 2 person job!
The north side of the house is all closed in. The front is just about done. We're going to work on the West side next.
