The decorative crown molding was removed (and saved) from the windows, and more lumber was delivered for the 2nd story.
In next week's episode: the 2nd story is framed! Stay tuned.
You might notice that there have been several small lumber deliveries, rather than 1 large delivery. The reason for this is because we live in a small 'downtown' area where the lots are very small. There is not enough room to deliver and store all the lumber at one time; thus we have multiple lumber deliveries as needed.
In next week's episode: the 2nd story is framed! Stay tuned.

Wow!
They seem to be moving rather quickly....although I only see it once a week so it probably seems longer to you guys!
That is quite the project!!!
The Crush Du Jour is especially yummy!
They got quite a bit done. I like these weekly updates. It's coming along. How are you two holding up under the stress?
Glad to see how fast things are progressing. I hope it seems to be going as fast for you. Now I see where the Master bedroom is. That's going to be one large bedroom addition and walk-in closets. How many pairs of shoes do you have? ;-)
Wow! The work is really progressing!
