Framing is now up for the four large windows on the front of the living room and for the loft, which extends over part of the first floor. The living room will have a high ceiling, but the area under the loft, including the kitchen and Robin’s sewing room, will have normal-height (10 feet) ceilings. The builder says that framing of the first floor and loft should be finished up this week and roof trusses should start going up next week.
