The framing of the house is coming along nicely. The first floor is framed and it is so neat to be able to walk the rooms and see your plan come to life. The one room that I was concerned about is the dining room. Its kind of hidden in the middle of the house, but because it is open and the parlor is open, you can see into it from the parlor. The stairs separate the two rooms, but it looks like it is going to be really nice. They were supposed to put the second floor joists up and deck it yesterday, but there was a problem with the number of boards, so that has been delayed until today. There was a big rainstorm last night, hopefully that won't delay their work any. It should be alot cooler for the workers though. We still have some decisions that need to be made. There is a decorative window in the upstairs hallway, we need to decide on columns for the brick bases on the porch and still haven't decided on the bathroom showers. I will post photos later today or tomorrow.
A sad note: We are down to three birds now. Charles' English Parakeet, Lord Nelson has died. He was between 7-8 years old. His companion, Hayley, died earlier this year. So, our pet count is now 3 dogs (all 10years plus), 2 cats (1 8yearsplus, 1 kitten), 3 cockatiels (Frisco 20, his kids 10), 2 goldfish (1-2 years). Its very hard to have a geriatric pet household. We've lost so many this year alone, and some its just a matter of time. Those quackers we have are still sitting on the eggs, but no ducklings yet.
