Three big things were evident when we showed up to the job site last night. The rafters were installed over the garage, which is clearly visible in the elevation. The front and back porches were prepared for pouring concrete, with the gravel installed, plus forms and rebar. And the front and back walls of the second floor are framed, but they aren't yet stood upright.

I took the usual pictures. But I also met our neighbors to the south, they seemed like a nice couple.

Anyway, here's the pics (as always, hover your mouse pointer over a pic to see the description).

Prelude: the usual elevation shots, wide and then tight:

Act I: rafters and a ridge pole for my garage roof:

Act II: porches are prepped and ready for the concrete to get poured:

Act III: front and back exterior walls are framed up on the second floor:

Postlude: We goofed off and planted some sunflower seeds after we looked around.
