Nothing like a stick built home! I love to see them going up. Surprised they are cutting the rafters instead of using trusses.

It may be a southern thing , like south of the border. Only one or two of crew speak english as far as I can tell.

Your weather isn't much better than ours. At least you still have blue sky though. That's nice to see. Good progress on the house. 

Made real progress today. Storm came up this afternoon but they were back at it later. 

 

This is when I got there about 8:30.

 

 

back porch is now looking like a porch . Oops she says it is front porch. 
 

 

She went down to look late this afternoon andloves the porch view. 

Wow, what a difference a day makes. Amazing framing crew. That garage space is spectacular.

Looks like it will be a great place to live Gerald.  Coming along nicely.

That looks like it's going to be a beautiful place! And the scenery! On yeah.

Guess i forgot to post these yesterday. All blacked in , no shingles yet. Plumbers started working today. 

 

 

 

maybe tomorrow will be more eventful.

Goes without saying, that is really gonna be a nice place!

Looking great!  A new build is always exciting to watch.

Didn't get any pics today as we were burning all those limbs. Got about 2 thirds done. Dirt work on shop in progress . SHingles were delivered. They started putting in A/C ducts today, we will have a 14 SEER heat pump.

When I worked with a carpenter, we always looked forward to being "under roof"- shingles and windows in place. At that point, the other trades could get their crafts going. 

Looking great 

Here are some inside pics as outside is slow. 

view from kitchen sink. 
 

laundry room

 

the stairs 

 

master bath and closet 

 

because of the 10 foot ceilings they had to run main trunk over the porch.

 

and now for the real action . Dirt work for the shop. We burned a lot of limbs yesterday and it was still smoldering today.

Wow, the plumbers are really kicking butt. Fun following the progress. Thanks!

 

How big is the shop going to be? 

Love it!  Who's responsible for the clean-up?

Shop is 30x40. Contractor has a crew to cleanup. Plumbing done . A/C installed. And now shop concrete is poured.
