Finally, we install the 2nd-floor 2x10 joists. This is the view from the existing 2nd-floor bathroom window.

Some of the joists cantilever over the east wall; ultimately, this three-foot zone will contain a stair to the mezzanine (and from there to the roof deck).

With the subfloor in place, we build the first segment of the 2nd-floor wall, and fasten it to the existing house.

Now, it's time to install the first really big wall segment. Susan, Rob, and I lift it halfway up, then pause to consider how heavy it really is. Time to call neighbors for some additional muscle. Fifteen minutes later, the segment is lifted into place.
