Week 5 - Framing

I was shocked to go see the house this week, because it finally looks like a house!  They worked super hard this week and got all of the framing done!  Apparently, we were pretty lucky in the timing of everything that the framing showed up on site and the framers were available to start on it the next day.  Sometimes people have to wait weeks for the framers to be available.  If everything goes according to plan from here on, we should be having our pre-drywall meeting in 2 weeks and the house should be done by late November, maybe first week of December.  We were originally told December 10, so if we can get in earlier, that would be great!  I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas!

Front of house, first floor framing.  I'm so glad we did a 2' extension on the garage, because I like the different levels of roof on garage and entryway.
