Wow-they work on the weekend! The mechanics are almost finished!

Friday night we saw the majority of the heating and air ducts in. During Saturday's visit we saw our front and back sliding glass door had been installed, the HVAC close to being finished, and plumbing almost done as well! These two walk throughs were our first visits into the house as well! It was really neat to see the rooms roughed out and I can really see it coming along. Here are some pictures of the inside and outside as of Saturday.

Shingles, windows, HVAC, and a garage door, OHMY!!!

So I was incredibly and pleasantly surprised to pull up tonight and see the shingles finished, the windows and garage door installed, and I heard a rumor the HVAC guy had been there too! Woo hoo!!!

Wednesday's update

Not much change. The roof is finished. It sounded like they were finishing up inside.

the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!

Actually, no it isnt but we have one! Funny thing though--when we pulled up the workers carefully covered their faces from me and my camera. I'll let you figure the rest out. Anyway, my childhood neighbors (Toots and Fritz) were visiting with us and we took them and my mom to the house. They said it was a whole lotta house. Oh yeah! It looks huge next to the neighbors house. There is a house on my property now, something tangible. I can touch it. I am almost giddy I am so excited to finally see the house up.

2nd floor and waterproofing

Moving right along--the second floor is on! The roof is what is left. Here are the pictures of the four sides.

The house has a first floor!

Chris and I were able to walk through our first floor this afternoon. Each room is defined and I am starting to be able to visualize the house! I was giddy like a kid in a candy store. It even had the second floor floor down so they just have to frame the second floor and put on the roof. How incredibly exciting!




Study-not sure why there is a microwave in there...

Framing has begun!

So, our basement and garage concrete slabs were poured on Wednesday. Of course, my camera had a dead battery. Thursday our framing was started. On Friday afternoon the first floor was there!!!

Our project manager sent his weekly email and said that the framing should be done early/mid year and then the HVAC, plumber, and electrician will all come and do their thing by the end of next week. Our pre-drywall meeting will be in about 1.5 weeks! How exciting is that?!?!

No concrete! Waiting game...

Not sure why we didn't get our concrete poured but we did have the lumber delivered!! It's like a giant puzzle. It been raining so I hope that doesnt keep our concrete from being poured tomorrow or I am going to be one unhappy lady!
