Jody, Natalie and I had been planning to catch up on some sleep this morning, being a holiday and all. So, when were we were woken up at 7am by the sounds of beeping trucks and banging hammers - as well as Zippy announcing their presence - we were not very amused. After a quick glance out the bathroom window, we realized that we couldn't really be mad since it was our house they were working on.

While I have no concept of 'building time' and will fully admit this is a small house, these guys were making quick work of the framing, likely because it was 19 degrees this morning.
The rest of the basement rear exterior framing and all of the first floor joists and decking were on by 2pm, soon enough to still get another load in from the lumberyard.

| I still think cranes attached to trucks are the coolest thing ever! Zippy agrees. |
8 hours later, they were done and ready for the next day. For the first time, the structure is visible from the street.

Hopefully the neighbors are as excited about 7am holiday racket as we are.
