We have walls

Well, some anyway. Today has been the biggest one day change so far in the construction process. There were PLENTY of huge one day changes in the demolition process, but very few so far in the construction process.

The first wall section up.

Today we framed in and raised about 3/4 of the exterior walls. We decided to go with 2x6 for the exterior walls, so these were heavy wall sections. (The walls are 2x6 24in on center). You can also see our large window openings too. We've decided to go with 3x5' egress windows for all the windows, save the one over the kitchen sink. (It's not framed in yet). So, these are nicely sized windows.

 One whole exterior wall is up!

See! Lots of exterior walls are up. Tomorrow, we'll finish raising them.

Tomorrow, I'll be helping MD finish up framing the exterior walls and raising them. Then we'll be doing a bunch of stuff with levelling, making plumb, adding blocks to headers, etc. Then Friday is when we're (hopefully) going to be raising the trusses!
