The Second Floor and Plumbing

The second floor got started Tuesday.  I'm still amazed that the framers can get the elevations and pitches right while working at heights.  

The treads and risers also got added to the stair stringers yesterday.  Now we can run up and down the stairs (and not have to hug the 2x4's while tight walking the stair stringers).  We took India upstairs for the first time last night to show her where her new bedroom will be.  She loves it and had to show Papa Pigg, Papa Randy, Grandma Genny, and Uncle Zach.

The plumbing got started over the weekend.  The main trunk is now installed, along with a Little Giant sewage ejector, and the main lines running up to the second floor.  Another 1/2 day of work in the basement and the plumbing will be finished there.

The second floor framing makes a huge difference.  It makes the house look a lot further along than last Friday.

This view shows the portico and the beginning of the second floor framing.  The view up here is great!
