Second story framing

At 6:30 this morning Keith and I removed the door and trim we want to save from the attic so John and Nate could come in and do this:


This picture doesn't begin to capture how much dirt and dust and rubble was created from taking out the ceiling and one wall. We want to insulate the attic and change the ceiling so it follows the rafters, so this had to be done first. I knew I didn't want to demo plaster because it's such a dirty job, but honestly, it's about 10 times worse than I even imagined. I told Nate and John how much I appreciate what they're doing.

Meanwhile, Dan and Joe continued framing the second story and the rafters.


This is how the addition looked at the end of the day.
