Upstairs framing

Here are the engineered floor joists for the upper floor. I've never seen any like this, but they certainly look sturdy!

Here's a look at the front of the house with the plastic sheathing on. You can just see the floor joists under the header for the porch.

Another view of the joists. Many more of them installed in this picture.

From the bottom of the stairs tonight -- Joe is walking up the steps. You can see the framing for the upper floor beginning to take shape.

The framers take all their ladders with them each evening so we had to climb up precariously to get to the top. Joe is standing in the upstairs "lounge" area. the view from up here is incredible -- you're literally up in the trees.
