Walls But No Ceiling

I was talking to Michael the other day and he said that Conner had told him via this that our house had walls but no ceiling. So Michael was a bit confused thinking that the house was farther along than the blog shows. Conner just meant basement walls and there wasn't anything overhead so of course there isn't a ceiling. While Erin was climbing out of the basement, she said that it sure "seems weird to climb up to get out." Our builder chastised us this past week when he asked if we had been out to see what was going on and we had told him we hadn't been out the entire week. He said they have done tons of stuff and that we should be out there every day taking pictures as it is at this point that the changes are noticeable, whereas later, it will seem like nothing is getting done as the little pieces that complete the house are time consuming. So I guess we will do better.
Do you remember the last of our mountains that I showed last time? Well here is the same picture with Conner on top and then one with Conner and Zach playing King of the Hill. Zach told Conner that he was the king since he is the tallest and closer to to the top of the hill, so Conner would have to be queen. That didn't make him happy. Conner isn't happy about that role when we play the card game Scum either. He always wants to be King.


This first picture is taken from the front of the house. The next few pictures are from down inside the basement.






This is the family standing in the stairwell down in the basement. Zach informed us that everyone must stand in height order - note that he is standing the farthest back.

So the framing of the basement is done. They also are working on the ceiling of the basement, or the floor of the house, whichever you prefer to call it. The far right corner of the picture shows where the floor is and we can look over it into the basement.


The family sitting on the edge of the front of the house, about where the front porch will be, and Conner, under the sawhorse. I guess I will have to go out more often since soon we will be able to see something above ground level I would imagine. Sorry this was so long.
