Roof!

I can't believe how fast this is going.  We have a roof!  The eaves are 3 feet, which will give it a really cool look, plus help keep us cool in the summer.  RR, our contractor, told us we need a front door in 2 weeks and we need to finalize our exterior colors because that is coming next.  Panic!  I know I have had a whole year to think about it... but now I have to commit?!

The Last 2 weeks...

It has been so fun to see some progress on the house.  I have been told that this is the exciting part and then everything slows down.  It is hard to believe that this house will take another 5 months.  Seems like it should be done in 1month... just slap up some drywall, paint it and lay down some carpet right?  Just kidding, all you contractors out there! 

Foundation Walls

In floor radiant  heat so the kids will want to hang out downstairs!

The framing has begun!  
The room on the right side is the room you will be staying in when you come to visit us :)




The opposing view.

The main floor without walls.

A closer look at the view.  Loving spring and all the green!
While the framing crew is working so hard... we are too.  We have been meeting with landscape designers to have a plan for the backyard for when the excavators want to do the final retaining walls, etc.  We are meeting with the home designer as well to get her approval/ideas for the interior.  We are also having to move to a different rental at the end of the month, so packing and the kid's summer activities are sprinkled throughout the day as well.  This summer is flying by!
