Going Up

Frames have (mostly) been put up on the First Floor.  We have a better sense of the overall shape of the house.  What will make the shell complete will be the roof trusses (the most complex part of this house).

 Here we see the bay windows of the upstairs bedrooms.  This photo was taken from the living room (so when finished there will be a ceiling here).

Garage and the storage area above.

Upstairs Bedrooms 5 and 6.

Beams on - ready to go up

Things have slowed due to issues with some of the windows.  That has been rectified and now the beams have gone up ready for putting the joist on as the platform for the upper story.  

Here we see the rear (north side of the house) which will have full height windows on the ground level and a set of fixed windows on the upper story to allow light in to fill the void. 

At the front of the house we have beams at the front and also in the garage to support the storage area above the garage.
