Framing Continues

We went back out to the site this weekend.  Progress continues - they have started framing the 2nd floor, installed some temporary steps and started the breezeway.  Snapped a few pictures shown below.  We actually crab-crawled up the stairs to get a sneak peak of the 2nd floor view.  The view was breathtaking, but the process was heart-racing for Berta.  Once she arrived at the top she lost her mind thinking she would never get back down.  There were several minutes of drama as we coached her back down.  I also need to introduce the dog, Travis.  He belongs to one of the neighbors and comes over to say hi every time we visit.  He is the size of a bear, but gentle, and always hunting for belly rubs.

Temporary Stairs - final install will be steel with PSL treads.
