We have a 2nd Floor!

This hasn't been the easiest winter to build a house, but Dave keeps on working! My Dad, Dave, and a friend helped get all the floor joists up and the subfloor down for the 2nd floor. Now our house is finally starting to take shape! Here is a view from our bedroom into the dining room. We actually have some walls up downstairs. Actually almost all of the walls are up because we have such an open floor plan. we still have the bathroom wall, bedroom, pantry and 1/2 bath wall to go up, but other than that the house is wide open!
Here is a view into our bedroom. The windows are spaced so a king sized bed will fit in between. The smaller window is actually on the other side of the bathroom wall and sits just above our whirlpool tub! (Dave says it is a waste of money for this tub....we will see!)

Here is another shot into the master bedroom and the small wall is the back wall of the 1/2 bath off of the kitchen.


Dave, Ava, and Kale are patiently waiting on me to take pictures. They are standing in the middle of our kitchen. The big opening is what leads to our "locker room" that will house our shoes and coats. It leads into the kitchen directly from the garage. This also walks into our walk in pantry!

Here is a view from the top. That is the second floor subfloor. We are up in Dave's toy, his JLG. All of the subfloor is down now and Dave has started to put up the blocks and windows for the 2nd story! It's supposed to be a nice weekend so hopefully he can get a lot accomplished!
