Has Spring Sprung?

Apparently the "Great Melt" has begun, and we have survived the Winter of '07. Mounds of snow within the confines of the existing walls of the workshop are slowly converting into sheets of ice. Luckily, they provide me with an opportunity to practice those liver-rending lurches my body goes through to prevent the injuries that might be sustained by a fall.
It seems that my schedule of Blog updates is settling toward once a month - though I would like to think that rather than being a symptom of laziness, disorganization, and apathy, it really is due to the lack of actual progress as constrained by the weather.
As far as progress is concerned, the recent warmup has helped greatly. Now that things are melting, I no longer need to spend time shoveling snow, then scraping and sweeping before I can work. Also, when it is above freezing, my nailgun works better without periodic warming. The subfloor adhesive does not need to be kept inside. I can go without a coat and wear a toolbelt. And, I can wear gloves that let me grab an individual nail from the pouch. So far, I am almost half done with the T&G plywood on the second floor. With the help of Mother Nature, I hope to have the subfloor decking finished this week and start the second floor framing.
One of these days I will put another couple of pictures up, too.
