going up

Once they started it, the framing for the house went up very quickly! It took the builders about three days from bottom floor to roof. It was so fun to go by and see the house take shape.

From the front.
From the back.
A day later from upstairs, our bedroom window.
Natalie checking out her bedroom. She knows what all the rooms are now. Her favorite things to do in the new house so far are take a bath in the master tub, (which is just framed in), and go in the linen closet and say "I'm towels!" or "I'm sheets". I think her dad started that one.
Heading up the stairs.
And from the front!
I need to get over there again after work hours are over.... they've made a lot of progress since this, but nothing I've been able to capture in daylight. There is a meeting with the head construction dude on Monday, and that's when we should get an official finish estimate. Up until then they've been unable to give us anything since the built so far has been so dependent on weather. But it's been nice and dry (not so good for the fires around here) so they've been able to move right along.
