The House Begins to Take Shape

Framing has started.  The framers said it would take about 2 1/2 weeks to get it dried in.  Hopefully, we have good weather until that is done.  It is exciting to see the house start to take shape.  

Here is a shot of the load bearing walls that were the first walls to be put up. (photo looking from the main floor into the basement)

Floor joists were laid over the foundation.

The framers have laid plywood over the joists and are working on the outer walls.  That is the kitchen that has the walls up.

The framers came in on Saturday to work.  Here is what it looked like after they left. (photo taken  from the garage)

This is the view outside of Sarah's window.

Here is the view out of Noah's room.

Here is the view from the corner bathtub in the Master Bath.

These will be the windows in our Master Bedroom.

This is the Family room.  In the middle will be a fireplace.  We had the builders add in these windows and this vault into the plans.  Rebecca likes a lot of natural light, so we will have two large windows next to the fireplace and three above with the vaulted ceiling.

Here is the nook in the eating area.  They haven't cut the windows out yet.  On the right in the nook is the back patio door.

This is the window over the sink.
