2nd floor exterior walls set in place

The right side and rear exterior walls are now in place, braced, and sheathed.


Left side exterior wall. All exterior walls are framed with 2x6's rather than 2x4's. This allows for more insulation and should reduce energy usage. See, we're green!!  [Please ignore the fact that using 2x6's killed more trees.]  The area around the hole in the floor is where our staircase will be.


The framed 2nd floor exterior walls from the street. In addition, the ceiling of the front porch has been framed. Two front facing bedrooms will extend out 4' over the front porch in a wide shed dormer.
