We've Been Framed !!

Finally the place starts to take shape!

When Michael arrived on Tuesday, the lower level had already been framed. Nancy was busy working (as usual) in her new office (room with a view)!


Oh my, there's the bedroom. Everything is aligned perfectly! How do they do that?

This was a busy week - 12 workers on the job site building the garage and the house at the same time.


These guys are working on the garage. Look at that nice concrete floor! It's a beauty.

Nice weather for building. It rained on almost all sides today, but not at our building site. Hope that continues for another week until they get the roof on the house.




I'm sure glad I don't have his job! I can't even run a chain saw or stand on a 2x6, let alone trying to do both at the same time! Lord, protect these guys on our site.






They sure know how to use the big equipment to do the hard work. You still couldn't pay me enough to be up there on those trusses!





Who's the gardener? Don't recognize the gal in shades. And where did she get those plants? I hope they're not stolen from a house that is for sale.

Oh boy, the deer and bunnies are lining up with plates and silverware in hand for those tasty salad leaves. Any bets on how many hostas are left now?

They spent the next day putting up the siding and roofing. Gotta like that green! I hope the 2 colors on the garage match....

Dale and crew framed the upper level walls today too.


It's really something to see the real house in 3D after looking at the plans and wondering what it would look like. A few days later...they are putting up the roof trusses! Wow, that really changes it again. But it won't stay like this either - once the walls are enclosed we'll lose our view of the sky and woods (too bad, we like the openness now - a little drafty though).

We sure spent a lot of time trying to figure out the location of the house and garage - they are set in stone now.

Hey, that looks nice!
