Looks like a house

They started to frame the garage roof and almost finished the sheathing this week. It's really starting to look like a house!!



THE FRONT





THE BACK (apparently I was standing a bit crooked!)




The plumbing rough-in and the framing for the walls on the main level are also done, so we're really getting a good idea of how the house is going to work for us. Boo-boo number 2 was also discovered however. They forgot to frame the pocket door between the mudroom and the foyer. Apparently this is going to be fixed.

Despite the rain....

What horrible weather we've had over the last few days. Despite that there seems to be a decent amount of progress on the house. Only the front half of the roof has had the sheathing put on, but it gives us a better idea of what the end result will be. The still have to put up the trusses for the gables and the garage.








We met with the first of 3 landscaping companies that we're "interviewing'" this weekend. We walked through the plan with the owner and it was then that I realized the enormity of the landscape plan. At this point, I just hope for grass!

Starting to take shape!

Lots of changes have taken place since our last weekly trip to the house.

We have walls!!




Looks great from the back. I love the stone used to keep the grade for the walk-out (click to see it larger).
