Eating Area Footings & Framing

Last week, "the guys" (who Liam is endlessly fascinated by) trenched, prepped, poured, and got the permit for the new eating area footings.

This week they completed the framing for the new space, including the ceiling beams. Quite a difference, eh?
Here's an interior shot showing some more of the framing detail. The big garage door-looking opening will be filled by a set of bi-parting French sliders, and you can see spaces for a couple of windows in the far wall. Here's a view looking toward the family room (door covered in plastic); the corner to the right of the door is where the fireplace is going.
And here's another view of the ceiling. Shawn worked overtime staining all of the beams and tongue and groove; didn't he do a great job?
This was a fast week for progress and extra fun to watch. We're getting excited now that it's starting to resemble a room again!
