| There will be a fireplace on both sides of the wall. | Before this wood beam is put into the steel beam the back is covered with pieces of plywood to ensure a solid fit. | Notice the holes in the beam. |

| You can always make it fit with a hammer. | Another bedroom loses its wall. This was Annie and Paige's room but will now be converted into a library/guest room. | The hallway is framed to 9'. Notice the 1' pony wall on the back side of the hallway. |

| This is the powder room. The subfloor had to be replaced because of wood rot. | More rotten wood in the front of the house has to be replaced. | The staircase sticks out a bit more than expected so we are going to build out the wall a few inches. For the closet door, a flush, invisible door will be there. |

| It looks a lot bigger on paper. | See how close the palm tree is. The palm fronds are in the way of the future deck and roof. | It took a whole day to chalk line the floor plan onto the second floor. |

| The chimney will protrude through here. Below you can see the living room fireplace and up top, the master bedroom fireplace. | A little close to the tree...don't you think? | Tarps still cover parts of the house and won't be removed until the roof goes on. |
