The second floor frame went up fairly quickly. We have decided to make the upstairs wall out of straw bales instead of stone. We did this for several reasons: time, ease, and insulation value. The bales will be covered with plaster (as will most of the stone), so you won't be able to tell that the house is made of different materials.
Our very good friend, Caleb, has joined us here. He is studying in China, but is home for the summer. After a rushed couple weeks visiting family (our wonderful friends the Dependahl's), he flew out here to help us build our house. He's been a great help!
