Stairs!

Another visit to Independence today, to find that all the framing is complete – and we have a staircase! Upstairs, all the bedrooms have been framed too, and we see the outline of the “media room”, although with double door access to the balcony, it’s going to be much too bright for a true home theater (I’m tempted to make it my office!):

Outside, the roof is complete, too (many sections and angles):

We saw our first wildlife back in the wetlands today, too – a Great Blue Heron (long way off but maximum zoom and cropped):
