Framing almost done for main level

The decorator has suggested this brick for the 4 fireplaces...what do you think?

More framing shots. They should be finishing the floor joists tomorrow and start putting the deck on for the second floor.

Putting the floor joists on for the 2nd floor

Looking into one of the family rooms on the main floor.

This is a shot of the main level, which is where the dorms will be.

This is looking into one of the dorms. The large room is the family room. Each dorm will house 12 boys.

This is another shot that shows the framing on the main level

My kids were out of school today, so they helped me with the photo shoot. This is the alcove right outside the school area.

This is the new computer lab

This is one of the classrooms. You can see the art room to the left and behind my kids.

This is the new main floor. All of the dorm areas will be on this level. Here are all of my kids in one of the 3 living rooms on this level.

This is a shot from one of the other living rooms. My back is to the original house looking into the construction project.

In between activities, it's always interesting to watch the progress for a few moments.

Putting on the deck of the main floor. This is where the new living space will be.

Another shot of the main floor decking.

The new building will connect to the existing building. All of the original brick will be replaced to match the new building.

A glimpse into the new computer lab, classrooms and library

Looking at the project from the existing front door

Framing at last! That area of the basement (at the bottom of the picture) are 3 new classrooms, an academic office, a library, and computer lab. It's coming along.

Here the foundation walls have been poured, and they are preparing to pour the basement floor.

It was a tragedy losing those big trees. That trac hoe took each one of those trees down in just a few minutes.
