First Floor!

We heard from Nick yesterday (Monday) morning that the framers were on site and working and by 4 pm we'd be able to walk the first floor.  When we arrived, this is what we saw.  As you can guess we were pretty excited.

They hadn't finished sheathing the back and when the crew left at 5 it was mostly sheathed, but not completely.

The purpose of the J-bolts that were inserted in the foundation became clear.  They hold the footing, and the frame, to the foundation.  (duh!)
