Dirt and Work!

We worked all day long today and it was AWESOME! We got so much done!! First off, when I say "we" I mean Nathan and I, but more than that I mean Jonah and Paul, Al and Maggie, Peggy and Brad, Ian and Joe, and countless others who've offered their time, patience, and brute strength to help us get as far as we have! Today, thanks to Jonah's help this past week, we were able to reinforce the rest of the first floor joists and with the exception of the back stairs, we are done framing the frist floor! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty tired, but I wanted to post some pictures I took this weekend...the pictures are blurry...oops.


Nathan...looking quite scary (I think it's the lego hair)


Our future bathroom...ahh...you're looking at the tub!!!


'Tis the hole we cut out for a nice, open living room/atrium. We are now in the process of putting it back...um..yeah...not so much.


Liked this shot...you can sort of see the player paino the previous owner left (we're not sure how to move it, so we just work around it).


Nathan is working on pulling out bricks so we can reinforce the joists (so we can have a bathroom on the second floor).


This is the hole Ian and Nathan cut last weekend and this weekend the two of them plus Jonah helped build the stringers that will eventually become stairs!


Like this shot...just something Nathan found while digging around in the "dirt and work."
