going up....

Starting with the bottom picture you can see the start of the framing of the second floor. Then the stairs go in. By the time the hardee board siding went up in the third picture all the rooms on the second floor were framed out ready for drywall. The third picture from bottom is the view from the backyard, looking at the deck and french doors. Sometime in the future we'll expand the deck, but keeping it small (and affordable) for now. The view from the 4th picture (from bottom) is from the alley. There's a new concrete landing and the 2+ garage is to the left of the red dumpster (out of the picture). The top picture shows how they moved the archway. They are framing in the old doorway and the plastic is covering the new one. They were able to keep the historic value of the home by replicating the arches throughout all the new construction.
