Framing Stage: First Level + 2 staircases + 2nd Level





















First Level with two staircases



















First Level with Side Staircase


















Concerns: as of right now, the structure is already pretty heavy, I fear there may be structural problems simply becase of the shear weight of my building being a tower with cement veneer. I have one reinforcing rebar set into a caisson which is bolted to my cart (the other reinforcing rebar were in the way of my wood framing). Hopefully this will be sufficient for structural support.
