3rd Floor is Framed!

Yes!  The crew framed the third floor.  Because there are not many walls -- it's basically a big open room -- it was easy to frame, but harder to hold together.

This is the view looking at the porch side.  The first floor will have bunk beds for visitors and will look out to the pond from those end windows.



 If you were concerned about the house holding together during high winds, you can see the metal strapping that is being installed to hold the framing down.  There will also be a lot of tie-down rods that run from the foundation up through the framing to the top and are tightened down to hold everything together.  (Photos when they are in place.)


Stairs to the third floor were not in when we visited, so you'll this is the view of the top two floors.
