Upstairs Framed

It's really starting to look like a house! Only five days from the last post and the upstairs is framed up. They've even started to sheet the exterior. The plan for tomorrow is to start to put on the roof trusses. You can see them stacked up on the back right hand side of the picture. I went out today and walked around and it is really amazing to actually be able to have some kind of perspective about the actual size of the space we will be living in. We only have 3 months left (barring in unforeseen circumstances) before this thing is ready to move into. We can't wait to have everyone out to celebrate our new home. First things first though. We still have a lot of work to do.











Here is the view from the other side of the road. You can really see that the scope of the excavation has been rather large. We have been looking at how this should re-vegetate and are pretty confident that it will blend in nicely with the hillside when they hydroseed it in October with a natural mix of grasses etc. We still have to choose exterior colors and we are looking at something that won't make this thing glare from the hillside. That's coming up! Stay tuned!
