Framing - Main Floor

Last weekend was one of the most productive weekends we've had.  Ed, Luke, Martin, Scott, and Jeff worked hard at framing the main floor.  Despite the heat of July, the guys worked diligently.  Fans helped cool the air and within days, the house was coming together more than ever!  It was really exciting!

Jeff's uncle, Scott, came down from UT to help put in all the electrical work.  He spent most of his time wiring the basement, while the rest of the guys worked upstairs.

Doti's brother, Martin, is Jeff's right hand man!  Martin is out there with us at least one day a week and most weekends. 


In this photo, Ed and Jeff are working on the banister.  Ed is Jeff's colleague.  He and his son, Luke work as many weekends that they can.  They're a two-man team we can't beat!  Ed is the mentoring, hard-working type.  A great guy to have on your side!

Luke is cutting the wood for the banister.  He and his dad work really well together.  It's a life lesson for us all to see them at work.  Someday, we hope our boys enjoy working as hard as Luke. 
Thanks Luke for spending your summer break with us!

In this photo, I'm facing the laundry room on the left and the nursery and guest bedroom on the right.  We built a mechanical loft above the laudry room.  Access to that will be through the garage.    

For perspective, Martin is standing in the pantry.  Doti's not sure if it's big enough, but compared to what she currently has, it's 3 x larger! 

In this view, the master bedroom is on the left (not framed yet).  The long skinny room down the middle is the powder room with access to the back yard.  Next to that is the kitchen.
