The framers have been hard at work all week doing all the clean up kinds of things. They finished the roof so now the old section and new section of roof are finally connected and there is no big hole in the middle of the kitchen -- just in time for the rain to have stopped (hopefully). They installed the last two back windows and the doors, so the back wall of the house looks really good. The picture below shows the outside view of the family room with five windows and the picture above shows back wall of the master bedroom, with a sliding door and two windows next to it.
They also rebuilt the stairs going down into the basement, so now there is a nice landing right inside the door. They also framed in the rest of the pantry. The reason for the box inside the pantry is to provide headroom for going down the stairs into the basement. The shower in the master bathroom has been framed as well.
They also started on the last big interior thing -- the wall between the dining room and the kitchen. We are moving the door and making the small arch into a five foot wide arch that is centered on the big arch from the living room and the dining room. In the picture below you can see the small arch and right next to it is the new big opening. Right now it is rectangular, but soon it will be an arch. The other nice thing is that the framers took down the extra framing that made the wall between the kitchen and the dining room double thick, and now the two arches will match perfectly.
The view in the picture below is really neat. I took the picture standing right outside the back door of the family room. When we are done, you will be able to stand right inside the front door and see all the way through the house into the back yard.
