Framing

Framing is complete!  We thought Anthony would have plenty of time to do it and it'd get done super fast.  After getting most of the basement complete and then the house sitting idle for two weeks (we did go to OK for thanksgiving during that time and Anth went to ND for work for a week) we decided to hire it out.  Best. Decision. Ever! It was so nice not to have to stress over it and to just have it done. (At this point I really wish we could just hire everything out, paying top dollar, to just get the whole house done. But of course it's about the journey and what would we learn if we did that?!?! Oh and plus the whole $$ thing.)
Also in these pictures you can see the new stairs!! Aren't they beautiful!  I love them.  

 Benson is standing in the hall.  In the future there will be a half wall there.

 Yes this is with the plumbing and HVAC started.  Standing at the bottom of the stairs looking through the wall into the bathroom.

Now that it's done we do HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc... (we are only doing the electrical :)
Here's to gutting and redoing a house :/
P.S. I LOVE walking into the house now.  I LOVE that I can tell where things (like walls) are going to be :)
