After 4 days - Wednesday, January 31, 2007

Having waited from Saturday until today to go and see the house. I was happy with what I saw!
They've started framing and hoping the cold snap that just started today in the city doesn't slow them down, they'll be putting up the walls on the main floor by Friday (at least that's my guess).

First shot of the day is looking at the front of the house from the drivers seat of Peppy the Toyota Corolla. Named for that fact that the car is not very peppy!


Second, standing in the garage looking at the floor joists. They're all laid out and almost ready for the rim joists and then sheathing.


From the west or left side of the house. The floor joists sticking out the side there are for the 2' x 9' cantilever that will hang off the side of the living room. Was an upgrade we added to increase the size of the living room by being able to build a built-in wall unit for the television and bookshelves.


The walkout at the back of the house. From the left to the right, there's the door, a 4 x 3 foot window, then a 5 x 5 foot window.


Next around the north east corner of the house, a 5 x 4 window. Hopefully all of the windows in the basement will give some pretty good light. Since the house is south facing we won't get the sun we get the backyard right now.


Last, a shot from inside the basement looking out the back.

Yeah!!!! I like the shot from inside the basement. In a year from now we'll be looking out the finshed house seeing a very similar view!

It's coming right along! It must be of some comfort to have the educational background that gives you the advantage of understanding each step in the process of building your home. If there's anything that out of sorts, you will notice whereas most homeowners wouldn't have a clue.
That's a great advantage.
