Max, trusses and stairs. . .

Last week we were "puppy sitters" for Courtney and Nick's little Max.  He became quite the "island puppy" during his weeklong vacation.  Here he is posing by the big rock - he had so much fun running everywhere and exploring the new house!  We miss him. . . 

 

Guess what?!  The stairs are in!!  No more ladders to get up or down.  These stairs lead upstairs to the two guest rooms and they truly will be "a room with a view".  The walls on the upper level are up and the roof structure is starting to take shape. Lots more trusses to be installed over the next couple of weeks.  We are finalizing the window order, selected the roof color and picked the stone for the entry.  Feels good to check off a few of the 8 ba-zillion things we have yet to decide on!  The shot below was taken today and sort of shows the back of the garage (with trusses).
