We have been very fortunate that it didn't rain very much during the day for the last week or so. (It has rained quite a bit during the night, which has created more lakes in our dining room and living room. We are pretty sure it's still not doing any serious damage.) The framer was able to get a lot done without rain interfering.
Throughout last week, he put up walls. It was nice to see the pile of wood in the driveway rapidly shrink. When Ohm saw the new walls up he said "two houses". At the moment it does indeed look like someone accidentally landed a new house on top of ours. We trust that it will look more cohesive when finishing touches, like siding, are done.
The windows arrived on Wednesday, and we are keeping them in the garage until the framer is ready for them. We're looking forward to replacing all of the old metal frame windows in the existing house.
On Friday, the trusses were delivered. Ohm was mesmerized with the crane operations. He told the neighbors who stopped by to chat that the trusses were going "up, up, up to the sky."
When we stopped by on Sunday, all of the trusses were up. The tarp is now held securely in place, and we can sleep better knowing that there shouldn't be large puddles downstairs any longer.
We had fun walking around our new upstairs, looking out the "windows", and visualizing what it will look like when it's finished. It's getting easier to believe that it will indeed be finished in the forseeable future!
