Most of the frame is up!


We again went out to the property on Sunday to see the progress of the build. Jason (builder) had gotten most of the frames up which was pretty cool as we got to walk around the 'rooms'. The really really cool bit was the supporting post in the middle of the house. He chose a rough looking one which gives it a lot of character. We also scored a lovely dressed beam he put in (as he no longer needed it for his own house).
Will and I braved the climb up to the top to enjoy the view from the "top floor". The floor is down for the loft but the frames for the roof line has yet to go up. It'll be a bit of a shame that the roof will hide the view from the second story. I had a bit of sunbake on the top floor to warm myself up (it was < 1 degree celcius at home the morning... and I can only imagine how cold it would have been on-site!)
