Warren and Peter worked around the rain last week and were able to frame up the exterior walls on the second floor, start the balloon frame for the stairs and finish waterproofing the foundation. Saturday we built temporary stairs to the second floor. You can now walk up the stairs from the basement all the way to the second floor. Fall colors were just starting to turn last week. If you compare the view from last week and this week you see Fall is well on its way.
