So, here is the latest on the Fairfield house. In one week we've gone from the ground floor being just started to the whole thing almost completely framed in. Only missing some sheeting on half of the trusses and a few small interior walls. As you will see. Like any house the framing goes fast and it really looks like major progress, which it is to some extent. But when we move inside that is when it slooows down. Although this might be a little quicker due to it being a small house and nothing complex.
























See. Open roof and no interior walls upstairs, yet. Next week will be bathroom walls framed in.

This is upstairs standing at the street end looking to the windows in what will be the master bedroom. The really large window in the center will someday be french doors that go out onto an upstairs deck.























And this is the view of the mountains.

The altitude at the house is a shade over 5200 feet. The mountains go to 10,000 feet. Some smoke in the air due to a lightning caused fire that is 20 or 30 miles away as the crow flies. At this time the forest service is letting it burn.






















This is a shot looking out to the front door.






















And now looking out to the back door and what will be the kitchen.

That's about it for this week. Hope to start painting the outside next weekend. Labor Day weekend, so that means 3 days of time to work on it. Maybe even time to go downtown and see what the locals do on a weekend night. This place is very quiet. Hard to believe it is even a town, it is that quiet on Saturday nights. Maybe Friday nights are livelier when the school has a football game. We'll see. Oh, and quiet is a very good thing. Stay tuned.
