September 25th

All of the rain over the weekend slowed things down a touch, but Dwayne and his awesome help are making incredible progress! We lost the wall long wall to the left side of the house during the storm, but before the kids and I could get out there with dinner, they already had the wall back up and seemed that they hadn't missed a beat!





Things are really starting to take shape on the first floor. This is a view from the driveway looking at the front of the house. The little ledge sticking out to the left will be part of the wrap around porch and the short wall to the right will be the garage.




Looking straight on at the back of the house. The center windows will be the great room, the big window to the left will be the keeping room and the windows to the right will be the master bath. A covered porch will be in between.


A broader view of the back of the house. You can see a little of the kitchen window to the far left. It's exciting to see things taking shape!

Progress!

Our framer is Daniel Heckman from Walton. Here he and his guys are framing up the basement walls.











A shot of the crew working the on a wall. It's neat to be able to see where rooms are actually going to be and get more of a feel for the size of the rooms.











Floor joist going in!
