Tony and Steve raise the bedroom/bathroom wall. We decided to use 6" rather than 4" walls for a more substantial structure and better insulation. Besides, it will allow us to build a deeper sill on the windows. But, it makes for a heavy lift.l  
Within a few days, the exterior walls have been fully framed.  
   
   


Then on day 28, the crane arrives to lift the roof trusses in place.

 

 
This is clearly the moment that the neighborhood kids (and adults) have been waiting for. Huge machinery, lots of noise and a flying roof make for an excellent show.  
   
Steve seems pretty comfortable walking around on the wall plates.
