2nd Floor Framing

I have to give a huge shout out to the 4 guys that were working on our house today!  I was so impressed with them!  In the 20 minutes that I sat there and watched them, they basically got up all the outside walls of the 2nd floor.  They were working so fast I couldn't believe it!  Instead of walking over to get the level and bring it back, they quickly scurried back and forth!  There was not a wasted minute!

Here is what the house looked like when I first arrived:
This is what it looked like 20 minutes later!!  I watched it evolve right before my eyes!  It was so fun!
As I was leaving, a crane arrived.  I figured that they were getting it ready for tomorrow to move the lumber upstairs to frame the bedrooms.  Before I went to church, I stopped by the house with Travis.  I was shocked to see that the crane was up and the framing for the roof was almost complete!  Look!  It looks like a house!  They weren't kidding when they said things move fast! 
I can't wait until we get to walk through the house!  It is getting closer!
