Day 22

The house is really coming along! It is looking pretty big to me. The second floor interior and exterior walls are framed. The walls are built flat on the floor and the exterior sheathing is nailed on at this time before they are lifted into place. Our fantastic framers (seen here walking precariously on the attic joists) completed the south wall first (right side of picture) which is nearly 40 feet long. They said it about did them in trying to lift it. There are only four of them: 3 adults and one young apprentice. I am happy that I talked Elizabeth into baking them some chocolate chip cookies!
