Framing!

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.
Jenny was up late last night making some last minute changes to the blueprints. We added a window on the side of the garage toward the back so that we'll get some natural light in the workshop area. It was a good thing she did it last night because the window people will be coming really soon to order windows and they're framing for the windows today. She keeps saying how much she'll enjoy when this is all over and there won't be any option to change her mind on colors, etc.
I was noticing today that it looks like the second story is going to be really high up. The steps up to the front door will have to have oxygen tanks for people not used to the elevation. We'll have to see if that can be fit into the budget.
It still hasn't completely hit me that this is going to be our house. I'm sure one day, I'll wake up and think to myself "WOW, I'm a home-owner!".
