Construction Update 4/9/08

Is there anything more boring than a blog post featuring construction update photos from someone else's house?  Hardly.  Just bear with us here.  We do this mostly for ourselves these days anyway since we apparently lost all four of our readers due to insufficient content.  I'll try to include Walt in each picture if at all possible. 

As you can see the walls are framed, including those "special corner boards" that the builder said would prevent drafts, and the floor is at least sturdy enough to hold me standing still AND Walt walking.  So that's progress.

There are enough ladders in the backyard to keep Walt happy for days and his parents nervous for just as long.

And though we trust our builder (Steve the Builder, as Walt refers to him), it never hurts to do a little follow-up leveling just to make sure the window you will probably break someday is straight up and down.

And finally, there's no Walt and it looks similar to the first photo, but if you look closely you can see that as of yesterday there are now roof joists or rafters or whatever they're called.  I just know they are the start of a roof, which I am quite fond of considering how much it's been raining lately.
