Framing Begins

6/7 - day 23 - Garage I-beam placed, and first floor almost completely finished
6/8 - day 24 - First floor finished, second floor started
6/9 - day 25 - second floor finished
6/10 - day 26 - We have a roof!
6/11 - day 27 - Hubs walk-through. Interior framing + Rest of windows, front door, and morning room doors installed.
6/12 - day 28 - First family walk-through of the house. :)
Oh happy day! Drove past the house on my way home from work on Monday, and found a crew still hard at work around 5:30 p.m. Looks like they started the framing with the garage. Can't wait to see the progress all week!
We stalked the house daily this week, and saw crazy amounts of progress. In 6 days we went from having only a foundation and basement, to walkable house on Saturday and Sunday. Insane!!
Hubs walked the house for the first time early Saturday morning - pre-crew arrival. Got several of the pics below. Munchie and I joined him on Sunday, while attempting to hide from the workers on other lots. It was completely crazy to be walking through OUR house. Almost an indescribable feeling. I'm not saying I cried, but someone must have been cutting onions nearby...
Side note - get ALL the extra windows. I'm regretting the few we skipped. Maybe try for a custom one in your big master closet. That room is going to be DARK.
Warning: These pictures are in no semblance of order. They are date-marked, however. I fought Blogger, and Blogger won. Sorry about that!

| Day 27: Basement Framing - Sump Pump pit? |

| Day 27: Morning Room from hallway |
 |
| Day 28: standing in princess suite. Looking left through the wall is the loft, then front corner bedroom. Bonus points for spotting Munchie and me through the laundry room at the top of the stairs. Double bonus points for knowing that I'm begging Hubs to make sure I'm not in the shot. |

| Day 28: Morning room and egress well. Sort-of wondering if it might have been better placed in the nook to the right side. Ooops. Live and learn. |
 |
| Day 28: side angle. Sort-of regretting not getting the extra window in front bedroom. |
 |
| Day 27: Mystery hole. *Might* lead to a leak down the road...LOL |
