On to the 2nd Floor

The progress on the house is now quite obvious. The second floor trusses are installed (they were pretty complicated) and all the exterior walls are in place. The roof will be installed tomorrow and Tuesday and the windows may be in by the end of the week - it will be good to have the house sealed from the elements. Its nice to see the actual shape of the house and to get a real feel for how the interior spaces will flow. The picture above is of the garage with Noah's bedroom above on the left and his bathroom on the right.

This is the South West side of the house that faces Chanay St. It really makes the house look bigger than it is due to the fact that you rarely get this view of a house in Chicago with the way lots are laid out. Below is a close up of the main entry with the big stairwell window above.


Above is the North East side of the house that lines up with our neighbors house - its pretty hidden from the street views. Below the view looking out from the garage to Julia Ct.

Above is looking into the living/kitchen/dining (great) room from the entryway. Below are different views of the great room.
