Ready for the second floor

September 18, 2008

Today, the guys finished putting the sub-floor down on the second floor and doing all sorts of other stuff that I can’t actually articulate because I’m not that knowledgeable about this part of the process.  For all I know, they have a portable TV and spent an hour this afternoon watching “Days of Our Lives” and eating Little Debbie Snack Cakes.

(Jeff the Builder, Jesse, and Tom: I’m kidding!)

Some photos:

Yay!  The front door is officially opened.

Here’s a view of the back corner where the study will be.

All those blue squares are future outlets for the geeky family with three (and counting) computers.  We’ll be installing a 10′ long work station there.

Standing in the study and looking across the house:

The kitchen will be the area to the left and, beyond that, the living room will run from front (right side) to back (left side) of the house.  It doesn’t look large, but the living room will be 12′ X 24′.  That big open window to the right is where the dining area will be.

And, from the study and looking toward the front door:

The half bathroom will be to the left of the door, where that transom is.  Luckily for our future guests, there WILL be walls around the bathroom.

By the way, like the view from the front of the house?  We’re pretty pleased with it ourselves.

Tomorrow, the big crane comes back and the guys will put up the walls on the second floor!
