Framing Day 4 - Main floor subfloor

Looks like the basement is just about complete and it has been cleaned of most debris. Still some cross-supports in place, but we were really able to see the space well today.  The first floor "deck" is now in place. Chalk lines are down showing where the first floor framing will stand. Much like we experienced in the basement - the spaces seem small without walls for scale.

There's a beautiful Beech tree between the house and the pond. Big and tall and a pretty shape. It has a swing hanging from a long limb that extends towards the pond. We've always thought it must be pretty old and maybe not so safe... But Matt got brave and tried it out. It's sturdy! We all got to test it out and Mara loves it. I forsee a lot of swinging in our future. You can see the pond needs a lot of TLC around the banks in addition to the turbid water. We are trying not to feel overwhelmed by that yet.
