Grandpa, checking out all the finished joists (the house is so wide it's hard for me to get a full picture).
After the joists were done, Joe, Jason and Justin all worked hard and super long, late nights to lay all the plywood for the sub floor. Finally we have a floor to walk on!
Then it was time to start on the walls! First, the material was delivered.
These little machines were super cool. Their front wheels turned completely sideways so the loader could go sideways into the building with a load of lumber.
Jason came out Saturday to help with standing walls. And another one of Joe's friend's, Andy, came out Sunday. I was amazed at how fast they were! It seemed like they got a lot accomplished in a small amount of time.
And we have walls! This picture was taken before Sunday, so even more walls are up.
We are so excited and are anxious for each new stage in this process. Next stage: Windows! On an unrelated house note, I realized I have not yet posted a picture of my adorable nephew. SO....here he is in all his glory:
He is just an incredibly cute (I know I may be biased), lovable, kissable squeezable little boy. He's all smiles and into eating his hands. These pictures do not do him justice, especially his striking blue eyes. My sister is so lucky she got a blue eyed baby! Anyways, he's the light of our family's life and definitely the center of attention right now whenever anyone is around him. We just can't get enough!
That's all for now! I will post more updates as they come. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
