In just a week they have built all the exterior walls upstairs, its hard to believe how quickly things are happening, I'm starting to feel anxious about how its all going to turn out. We finally decided on a mossy green for the siding, but we won't see how it looks on the house until its all delivered and put up since it comes pre-painted from the factory. The Roof will be going up Tuesday. Yay!! And I'm sure all the interior walls will be framed by the end of the week.
Marty and I both feel like the bedrooms are really small, but everybody keeps telling us it won't matter since all you do is sleep in them. If we had waited a few more years we may have had more money to build it bigger, but we really wanted to get in a house of our own now, so we have to be content with what we have. In a society where we're always wanting more, its seems like contentment with what we have is something we really struggle with and have to learn, at least I do! I want to just be thankful and not worry so much about everything being perfect. That's something I'm going to work on. Meanwhile, little Guy who I nanny for, thinks the house is already perfect. He loves to play in the sawdust, walk through the studs in the walls downstairs, collect bent up nails, and play in the huge dirt pile next to the house. He would like me to keep it there, but there is not way! I'll post again when we have a roof! --Jenny
Just another exterior picture of the house. The large opening downstairs is a sliding glass door that goes into the basement. Above it is the living room, center is the dining room, and to the left is the family room which will have french doors going out to a deck.

In just a week the basement was framed! Today they are putting on the upstairs floor and hopefully putting the plywood on so we can walk around on it and check out the view. I'll post again when the second story starts going up.
The framing has begun! The basement level is getting walls so we can start to see it taking shape. There's a lot of lumber to use and it sounds like it will be used quickly. They told us the roof trusses would be arriving June 3rd, so that gives them about two weeks to get the walls up on all sides, and have it ready for the roof.
Today they took the forms off the walls and its starting to look like a foundation. There's no changing our minds now!
