Here I was standing on the Northeastern corner of the tire wall for the pic, dining room in foreground with its diagonal wall brace, then small powder room on right and kitchen beyond that... 
The South wall, from the SE corner
...We've had snow 4 or 5 times this winter... this picture I took day after Christmas - we had a White Christmas this year! And so it goes without saying that the winter has been cold, and building slow, what with the cold & daylight ending early, but forward progress is progress! A couple of days we even put an old wheelbarrow in the kitchen and lit a fire in it for warmth so we could keep working. Good way to use up the buckets full of inches-long scraps.

An hour later...more ceilings! 
The bathrooms are ceilinged now... ( is ceilinged a word?) And the hallway to the bedrooms too! 
This coming weekend we will put up the "LVL" beam for the "Big Room" and perhaps work on the "pony wall" that is needed to accomodate the vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms. This little vault will allow for some high north-facing windows to let daylight in, but not direct sunlight to help keep the rooms day-bright but not sun-heated in the summer.
