Looks like a house!

This has probably been the most exciting 3 1/2 days of work to watch yet! It's amazing how quickly the house has started to take shape since they started framing last Thursday. Happy Valentine's day to us. <3

After the last post, the cables were stretched on the slab and we had to get the plans sent out for lumber bids. So the week after the concrete was poured not a whole lot happened. But we made some last final changes to the plans for the framer, like adding tray ceiling in the media room and changing the doors on the media room closet. We also had to tell them what doors and fireplace we'd be ordering so they can frame them properly and all that fun stuff. 

It probably just looks like a big pile of wood to everyone else, but it's so awesome to finally be able to walk through rooms that until now we had only seen on paper. By the end of the week, they'll be all done framing and ready to move on to roofing, HVAC work, the next round of plumbing, and then electrical wiring. Go go go!

A few some pictures of the progress each day so far - 

Lumber delivery...just the first of several

Day 1 - so cool!
