"So let's start at the very beginning-- a very good place to start," to quote the Sound of Music. Monday the framers came and put in a floor system. I didn't feel it necessary to capture that on film... Our framer's name is Sam Well. He is a hard worker, very talented-- as is his crew-- and a snappy dresser! On Tuesday they started framing...
Tuesday they started putting up the exterior walls and started working on putting in the interior walls. On Tuesday I panicked because the master suite looked too small.

Wednesday and Friday things started taking shape. The framers continued to frame the inside of the first floor and continued to work on the outside. Thursday it rained and so very little was done on Thursday.

This was taken Friday afternoon... our house building project is drawing quite the crowd. My future brother-in-law, my cousin-in-law, my father-in-law and my daddy are standing in the future living room.

By Wednesday, once the particle board was up I stopped worrying that the master bedroom was too small. Granted, it will not be huge, but it will be plenty big. I'm excited about all the new things that keep happening... but things are moving so fast that it is hard to keep up. I was told that by next Friday the shingles could be up... Today I went to the paint store and picked up some paint chips. We also went to the fabric store and looked at samples. We've picked out kitchen appliances, that I will soon blog about as well.
Remember... it's time to Spring Forward! Have a good rest of the weekend everyone.
