House being Framed

United Builders began framing our main floor on Friday.  So far they have finished two outside walls.  They also had the excavator here to smooth out the backyard so the rain will drain away from the new basement.  He was suppose to take down one more tree but it was just too wet back there and this was before the inch of rain we got today.  

The view from the back bedroom window.
This may become my sewing room.  

Now there is a floor above the walk out basement.
We call this wall facing the pond the 'wall of windows'.
Except for the little window in the master bedroom closet (see top left with tree branch running thru it),
all the sizes of the back windows (rough openings) are either 5 or 6 feet tall.   
Larry, the contractor, told Mike that next Friday they are bringing the roof trusses.  So by the end of next week I hope to see all of my rooms framed out.  Then I can measure and see if my plans for furniture placement will work.  I also need to figure out the location of the fireplace in the great room and of  course, the television placement too.
