First Story Framing

We have a fully framed first story, and what looks like our first minor problem. One of the downstairs windows (or at least the framing for the window) is a few feet too far to the left. This has made me appreciate all the more that we are able to stop by often and check things out.

Extension for 9 ft ceilings


The house has a back!


New framed wall between the future living room & guest room


The incorrectly placed window


In other news, we picked out a front door today. It's an Arts & Crafts style mahogany job with 6 tiny windows (which I've learned are called "lights" when on a door). It's very lovely, and we got a great deal on it - hooray!

We've had lots of folks ask how Charlie has been affected by this. So far, not at all. If you ask him what's happening to his house, he says, "The guys are fixin' it." The kid is totally unflappable. He also distinguishes between the "old house" and "rental house" with ease, as if this is a totally normal.
