What's up?

The framing.
That's what.

It's 90% done, not including the garage. 
Dean took Wednesday off from his 9 to 5 and he and Dave knocked out a huge chunk of it.
There are just a few little interior walls and the entry left to frame.
We ran out of studs. 
We have another lumber order being delivered tomorrow.

On Friday we had the garage floor poured and finished.
These guys did a good job. 
I don't have a photo of the finished floor,
 but ya know...it's a garage floor. 
We're pleased to have that done.

Since we ran out of lumber for framing,
Dean, Tannon and Michael got some sheeting put up.

It's been a good week as far a progress goes and we're excited about that,
but we've been sick.
 Last week I think I mentioned that Dean hadn't been feeling well. 
His flu morphed into a mean sinus infection. 
And I picked up a sore throat. 
Both of us have coughed all night long all week long. 
We're pretty worn out. 
Dean went to Instacare today and got a Zpack. 
He should be feeling better soon. 
Thank goodness. 
I worry about the man.

One last thing...
We've come to the conclusion that a bonus room over the garage just isn't going to work out. 
We tried and tried and tried, but every design idea we could come up with
 caused complications that we just weren't willing to deal with. 
Oh well...it was a bonus room after all. 
We'll get along just fine without it.

It's late.
Thanks for stoppin' by.
It's time to go to bed now and get some sleep cough.
G'night, y'all.
