First Floor Progress

The first floor walls are complete, the headers are in and the floor joists are finished. An inspection today should clear the way for us to lay the sub-floor and then we can begin working on the 2nd floor walls, headers, etc. One of the grandsons has been visiting for the past week so I've escaped the construction as I've had other duties like having loads of fun.

We had some cooler weather for part of the last week which made the work a bit more bearable. We even had something that I think was rain which was wet and fell from the sky. The whole thing, I think we used to call them summer rain storms, lasted an incredible 30 seconds and was gone. All though no one really wants a good old fashioned rain storm in the middle of construction it is so hot and dusty that a short storm would actually be welcomed.

All though not really exciting here are a few pictures showing the current status:
