Another Sunday, and another morning spent removing invasive plants. We worked for a little over two hours, before heading home to prepare for a friend’s brunch.

Here are two pictures of the current river front. The first is from ground level, and the second is from the second floor window, where we will have our best view. They moved the shovel, which helps this picture but blocked the construction camera on Friday. The river level is down a lot from a month ago, but plants have not colonized the newly exposed mud yet.

There is a large shovel blocking my usually place to take progress pictures, so I have two other angles. First is the front of the house. You can see that the wall panels are all in place and the roof sheathing has been added.

This is a view from the Northeast corner. You can see that there is still a lot of work to be done on the second floor walls and roof.

Here is the interior of the first floor. I am standing in the corner that will be the front hall closet. The master bedroom wing is behind me. You can see that there are now stairs going up to the second floor, so we can give tours :-).

Here is a view of the second floor. I am standing in the Southeast corner of the family room next to the windows with the best view, looking back towards where there will be two guest rooms and a full bathroom.

Our builder is on vacation next week, but the workers should still be on site finishing up the framing and sheathing. We have an on site meeting with the roofer on Wednesday. On June 23rd, they will remove the old garage foundation (I will reposition the construction camera for that).

Here is this week’s construction video. I did not include Wednesday since that day, all the work was on the other side of the house, so there was nothing to see. This weekend, I moved the construction camera back to the original tree on the river side since that’s where I expect to see work being done next week.
