Picture Perfect Framing

Our house has a front porch, second floor, and a roof!

They haven't built the stairs yet so we can't go up to the second floor. This is the view when looking up to the master bedroom:

We can't believe how quickly things are progressing! We have less than three months until our completion date!


Happy Thanksgiving!

Now that's some fantastic first floor framing folks...

Spencer and I have been driving up to our new house weekly since we signed the initial paperwork to buy our home. This weekend we saw big changes! They framed our first floor!

Here's a picture from the front yard:



This is the view when standing in the foyer. Our dining room is to the right and you can see all the way to the back of the house into the family room. {AND our highly anticipated back yard!}




This was taken while standing in the family room and looking up to the lovely second floor...wait a minute...  ; )


The second floor framing should be going up this week!

Is it bad that I'm already working on my Black Friday game plan? {don't judge}
Have a great week!

Progress!

After a couple weeks of what seemed like a whole bunch of nothing, our foundation has been poured! A week ago, Spencer met with our builder for the pre-construction meeting to go over the changes we made to the floor plan,  the whole building process, and to view the lot grading. We were excited to hear that we are still on schedule for a mid-February completion date! Spencer also learned an interesting tid-bit from the builder - the community sits on what used to be a logging site and there is an old logging road that starts at the back corner of our lot.

Here are a few pictures we took this week to document the progress:

Our Graded Lot
 
Framing should go up this week! Hopefully from here on out, things will move quickly!

On a side note, are there really only 18 days until Thanksgiving?! We're excited to see our family and friends in just a couple weeks!
