Last Saturday the framers didn't work. We expected today (especially with the 100 degree heat) to be the same. My parents stopped by the house this evening for the first time since framing, and my mom called to say how much she liked the front door. What? We didn't have a front door last night!
Needless to say we finished dinner, threw the munchkins in the car and headed up. To this highly untrained eye, framing is 99%+ complete, and nearly all the exterior doors and windows are in. We're just missing stairs to the basement and the walk-out basement doors. I suspect those need to wait until they pour the basement floor.
It was so awesome to see so much complete. Even our bathtub is in! Plus the place has been significantly cleaned up. =)

ReplyDeleteYour house is really coming together quickly!!! Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge awesome house!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing that your crew works on Saturdays! Your mom is right, that door looks fantastic. I love the surrounding windows.
ReplyDeleteI have been through the Waverly model home that will open end of this month. It's beautiful :) There will be one right behind our lot, just being built now.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some nice photos in there! I really like all the space you have! Wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, it's all coming along very nicely !
ReplyDeleteI like that rounded window right over your front door - in our elevation 'D' Waverly, it's a basic rectangular transom, but yours looks more like what we have over our Study windows, very nice.
I love the windows above the front door-progress is looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for good window tape! Ha ha!
