It is Starting to Come Together

The framing has started and we can actually see the start of the shape of the house.  It is amazing how quickly this all comes together.  When we pulled up to the lot on Saturday, it was a shock.  It feels so real now that we see more than just dirt and concrete. 

We took what pictures we could.  The lot was quite muddy with product laying around and we did not want to end up tripping over something and laying in the mud.  So we did not get any photos of the back of the house.  There were also workers at the house diagonal from us and we saw windows and a door laying around on our garage slab so figured they would be back over to ours before the day was over.

Here is the front of the house (on the left is the garage pad.. no walls yet, then the kitchen and behind that is the morning room.  Above those is the master bedroom.  On the right side we have the dining room (to the left of the front door) and the living room (to the right of the front door).  Upstairs in the front are 2 out of 4 upstairs bedrooms. 

 

Standing on the sidewalk in front of my neighbors house.  Another shot of the master bedroom two side windows (there are 3 total).  Near the back of the house you can see a piece of the morning room

 

Windows and a door sitting on the garage slab. 

Other side of the house you can see the extra window in the living room and the basement egress window.  And all that concrete that will need to be painted so I don't have to look at a grey blob.

 

 

Next up... continued framing including the roof and the shingles.  Next weeks visit will be more fun because Asia is home and will get to come along.

 

Our pre-drywall meeting is scheduled for 11/25.  Things are moving along.
