Frame On!

After concrete and steel, comes the most organic part of the structure, the wooden frame. With each passing day, the exterior and interior boundaries of the house begin to take shape. Like a line sketch in three dimensions, we can see the bones of the house that will be in the parallel and intersecting lines of wood, glue and nails.






Even the top floor is starting to look like its own ghost with the wood framing sketching its eventual shape.




The reason why I can only photograph the top floor from the floor below is that in the midst of all this framing, there is fairly large hole right in the middle of the house, where the staircase and elevator will eventually be installed. For now, however, it is just empty space and without a means of levitation, I can only admire it from below.



Besides, I have a much more important question to resolve at the moment: the perfect location for my hot tub. This looks like a good spot:



Next week: a roof, and maybe some indoor plumbing.
