We've been framed!

Some of the framing has been done, and today it was a whirlwind of activity, with the plumber and electrician here too (unfortunately, Scott and Reid were home because Reid has strep, so it wasn't quite as restful as it normally would be.) I've just been informed that Scott is going to contribute a first hand account of his experience today in a separate post. So I guess I'll leave it at that.
Here's some of the framing - first the hallway at the top of the stairs:


Here is the framing for the bathroom - somewhat hard to see because of the angle:


Here is the north side of the house. The slope of the east side is actually slightly different than the west side - something that wasn't picked up on originally. This results in a slightly higher wall on the east side than the west - but that will actually work to our advantage, giving us more storage above the clothes railing on that side.


And finally, we have a new addition to the soil stack in the basement (along with lots of other piping running this way and that, that I didn't find very interesting to photograph) and a new pipe in our current bedroom closet (Devin thinks when the camera is clicking, he must be in the picture).



Meanwhile, we have picked 1/2 of our flooring (found a good deal on some solid oak wood flooring at Lumber Liquidators), and we will be picking the rest tomorrow. The master bedroom will be the wood flooring, and the hallway and boys' room will be carpeted. We will be meeting with a small local store tomorrow to learn the ins and outs about carpet - which I'm finding I know nothing about.
We are also very close to ordering our bathroom vanity, and vanity top. Originally, I thought that there was no way we could afford a granite vanity top, but to my surprise, Home Depot actually has some mass-produced granite that is cheaper than the Corian that we were considering. So Granite it is - we just have to pick the color.
