While I was away, the plywood subfloor was completed, meaning that framing exterior walls could begin.
This is the longest wall for the house, which includes the master bedroom, bathroom, and one of the other bedrooms.
Just a picture of 2x6s laid out to be marked for a wall.
This is the window seat. After the studs are nailed in, cross braces are installed in order to keep the walls square.
Raising the wall. The vertical 2x4 has a jack attached to it to bring the wall up.
The metal braces are pretty cool. They are threaded at the top so you can push/pull the wall out by rotating the brace.
Looking at the wall from the outside.
This is one of the bedrooms at the front of the house.
This will be the master bedroom. The hole in the floor is where the fireplace will be in the main room.
It's starting to really look like a house now.
