Walls UP!

Jay is taking a week off to catch up on Mom's house. This first wall seen above was constructed and raised by 8:14am.

I took these shots of everyone getting into the action raising the first wall. Hey, someone had to take the picture! And that counts as work, right?
The second wall was constructed and raised by 10:42am.

Things got pretty hot, so Jay took a break after lunch (103 degrees with no shade - can you blame him?) and this is what the rest of the day brought us! YAY!!!

Logan, Jay's right hand gal, worked hard getting the headers in for Dad before sundown.

Here is Jay standing in the bedroom. The small square in front of him will be where the water heater will reside. Further ahead of him in the top right corner of the house is the bathroom (that large square) and walk-in closet ( from the far upper right hand corner running along that back wall to the bedroom area towards Jay), accessed through the bathroom. The bottom lefthand side will be the livingroom, slowly morphing into the dining area and kitchenette. When you hit the wall on the far right towards the bottom, you will see her "front" doorway, which you can access through the breezeway connecting our two homes.

Next step - we build the interior walls and install them on Monday!
