Final framing

Framing has officially been going on for 6 weeks.  Now they're finishing up the detail work which has been really fun.  I've been able to talk with the framer quite a bit and add my input.  It's amazing to see my ideas come to life.

This is the ceiling in the entry way (which I did not design, it was part of the plan):

 The family room fireplace with a little picture nook above it:

The kitchen ceiling.  It was supposed to be flat but Scott, the framer, suggested popping it up to match the other areas in the room.  I love how it turned out.

The ceiling in the office.  I love the exposed beam look so I wanted to incorporate that into the home.  It turned out great, can't wait to see them stained a dark color.

 The master bath, just need to cut a hole in it and drop the tub in.  Sounds easy enough, right?

Windows!

May 14 I drove up to the house and bam...the windows were in. I didn't even realize they were coming so soon.  It sure is looking more like a house!

Framing

April 8, 2013.  Now we're having fun! The first day of framing they framed in the garage and master bedroom.  They also laid out several other walls to go up the next day.

Pouring the slab

Underground Plumbing

March 28-29, 2013.  We had been trying so hard to get this worked out for David to fly down to AZ and plumb our house for us.  He had been here a few weeks before we were ready for plumbing for a visit, and came back a few days after they started.  He did give the plumbing his own inspection and said it looked great.  So nice to have another set of expert eyes on this project of ours though!
