August 4, 2:00 PM Gary and Craig measuring for the new ceiling joists which will make up the floor system for the

Passaic River Valley beyond. The raised box accommodates the higher ceiling in the living room below.

View to the north across the Great Swamp from the area that will be the new master bedroom suite over the new kitchen below. The temporarily open area where the ladder is coming up will be a small walk-out balcony off the sitting area of the bedroom.
