Four Walls, But No Roof. Yet.
Posted on | February 1, 2010 | 3 Comments
This weekend our Realtor called us to ask if we’d been by the lot yet, as he’d just been by and there had been a lot of progress. So yesterday afternoon, we drove over to check it out. When we turned the corner and saw actual walls, well, there was squealing. (Just by me. Maybe.)
The first floor is framed. The garage will be on the left (from this view). It looks small to me without it!
The great room with the fireplace framed out in the corner:
Aaron on the stair landing:
The back of the house. There will be a walkout basement, so the cutout on the lower left will be sliding glass doors:
Y’all come back now, ya hear?
Now that the basement is dug and the framing has started, it will probably move pretty rapidly the next two months. We’ve made most of our selections, so the next steps with be an electric walk thru with the electrian (to discuss outlet placement and other things I don’t know about yet!) and a cabinet walk thru with the cabinet maker. Our builder does all custom cabinetry, so we’ll be able to actually say where we want the microwave to go or which drawer to use for the garbage pullout et cetera.
It is definitely all feeling real now!

It looks great. My advice is to get five times as many electric outlets as is standard. I have power strips on almost every outlet in my house!
