Let the Framing Begin!!
We took a drive up to the homesite on Thursday of last week (9/25/08) to see what had been done since our last visit. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the house has started to take even more shape since the builders have begun framing it out! Here are a few of the MANY pictures we got while we were there:
Here's a view of the front of the house. The one wall that is up and covered in wrap is where the guest bedroom will be. To the right of that will be Megan's room.
Here's a view of the garage in the beginning stages of being framed. There's a nice big window in there that faces the driveway coming up to the house.
Here Jeremy got a great picture looking out the future window in the garage. Nice view, huh? We love it!
This view is looking into the house from the garage. In a few days all these frames will be up and there will even be a roof on the structure!
Jeremy got this picture from the very back corner of the house- in Michael's room- and you can see Megan and I standing in the garage area.
Here's a view from the back of the house. You can see the wall that is up on the left side of the house- that's Michael's room. To the left of that there is a small section of wall that is up and covered in wrap- that will be the fireplace in the living room.
Here's a basement view. I thought the floors would be poured before they started framing, but I apparently thought wrong! Oh well. I know they know what they're doing, so when the floors get poured, they get poured... But I like the way Jeremy got this picture of the steel support beams all in a row.
Here's another view of the basement from the outside. It looks a lot darker than it really is from this vantage point. I'd like to see that cherry picker that's in the picture in action one day!
I got this picture from inside the basement looking out what will be the walk-out doors and the two windows on either side of it. There are two more windows, but they are not able to be seen from this angle. It's really coming together!!
This is the last one from this batch that I thought I would share. I took this picture looking up from the basement into the house. I like the way you can just see a little bit of the framing on that exterior wall up there, and the ladder going up to the main part of the house. As Michael so profoundly pointed out while we were down there, "Soon there will be stairs going up and down here!" He's just as excited as his daddy and I are about this. It is SO neat to see this happening! We'll share some more pictures of the next visit very soon, so check back!
