Andrew and I spent most of the day just cleaning up around the construction site. We started a fire and burnt a lot of scrap lumber and such. Andrew also saw cut the concrete to control cracking. Sorry, no pictures of that. I was lucky to make it down in the basement just to help, let alone to bring a camera. The framers were there from before 8:00 am to around 5:00 pm. They mainly put up interior walls and framed in the garage. We are pretty sure they are putting up the trusses tomorrow (yes, on Sunday). I am teaching Sunday School both hours tomorrow so I won't be able to be there. Andrew is going to early service so he can be out there to catch the action. We'll post more pictures when we take them. These are the pictures from today.
This is the where the sliding glass door in our kitchen/dining area will go.
Looking into the kitchen. Cabinets will go along both walls.
The kitchen window. Our sink will be below it!
Looking into the basement. No stairs yet. We used a ladder to get down there. You can sort of see what Andrew cut today if you look at the line in the concrete.
The view out of our bedroom window (for now, we may move upstairs once we finish that).
A picture of the whole first floor framed. It is amazing how much different it will look by next weekend, when Andrew will probably be working on the shingles.

I can't believe how fast this part is going...we'll stop by tomorrow to see for ourselves. Nick and Graham are home next weekend if they can help out in any way. Carol
They are setting the trusses today (we think, they're kind of hard to understand), so it would be an exciting day to watch. I'm sure Andrew will need some help!
Things are going up so quickly! I can't wait to see the finished product - and I'm sure you can't either :)
