08-17-2010: Framing, day 6

They put in the stairs to the basement today and finished the ceilings in the master bedroom (see above), guest bedroom, and office.  The soffit and eaves along the back of the house were also completed.  They were also working on the stairs up to the attic.  Maybe they'll start putting up decking tomorrow.  There's still a lot more to do with the porches, decking, soffits, and a few ceilings. 

Rick took a brick sample of the Kennewick brick to the stone guy yesterday.  He mortared it and placed it next to the Lueders chocolate stone we like (see 2 pictures above).  We think it looks great....another big decision down, many more to go.
