We have windows going into the house now. You can see where we have on the upper portion of each window a grid built into the window to give the house a little of that classic look but without the maintenance.

We went with double hung windows from Pella that are made of vinyl. They durable and maintenance free.

We are also getting paper on the roof today in preparation for the roof shingles being put up on Monday.

The plumbers are also in the house today running the waste water returns.

The next 6 weeks will be a whirlwind of work and change!

The roof trusses are in place and the side trussss are going in. We are going to have some side gables so the roof has dimension and isn't just a straight roof.

You can also see some of the dimension over the front bedroom where the roof is below the main roof line as well.

Second floor is framed and the rooms are framed out so you can now see how the rooms and upstairs will be laid out.

The front stoop overhang is up so you can see how the front steps will be covered.

Roof should be on next week.

The first floor has been framed in with everything but the bathroom and will be getting ready for the subfloor.

The second floor is in place and the walls for the rooms should be going up today with roof trusses being put on either tomorrow or Monday. We are expecting about 3 - 5 inches of snow tonight so that might delay the roof getting put on until early next week.

The second floor walls are getting put up while the basement stairs are now in with the temporary steps in place.

We now have some walls up on the second floor and the stairway is starting to get put in for going upstairs. They will be adding the stairs to go down soon.

The second floor is being put up and you'll see that the one side isn't yet done yet as the stairway needs to be put in so the trusses can be braced against it.

It's not very often that you need to shovel the living room but with all the snow and no roof, it has to be done!

The stairs and second floor should be going in this week with the roof getting put on in a little more than a week.

You can see the mudroom and pantry are roughed in and on the outside the you can see where the windows will be and you can get a good feel for the overall look of the first floor.

The framing of the back porch is set up and the support beams for the second floor joists are getting put into place.

You can also see the framing for windows on either side of the fireplace and where the kitchen sink window will be in the photo below.
