Floor framing going in

In mid February the floor framing went in. The formerly-lowered dining room got a short wall to raise it. The exposing plywood panel covers the wall where insulation was added. The insulation was need because it was apparently removed from that corner of the house when the addition was put on. That was formerly an exterior wall, but no longer. Our kitchen pipes froze creating a minor problem and a major battle with an appliance repairman.

The diner room is being raised a couple of feet. The family room, about 8 inches.

Our framer is pretty precise. Here he shimms the subfloor to make it perfectly level.
