this week's progress


Despite having a day of rain, the guys got alot done on the house this week. And the framing on the first floor is now complete. It's fussy work, Ken, Eric and Buzz are very particular about how it all goes together. It's fun to get a real idea of the size, and I think it will be about perfect. I have been worried (abit) about it being "too big"... but, it's not much bigger than "the old house".. just laid out in a different fashion. I am very excited about having a dinning room, and hope to have many family dinners and get togethers!!!!

This view is the (facing) right front corner, which will be my "quilting/craft room"....





Here is a view from the back yard... which shows (from left to right) the living room, kitchen, pantry and first floor bathroom....






And this is the view from the driveway.. which folks will see as the pull up... the garage is the closest... then the mudroom and continuing across the front, the dinning room, front hallway and the quilting room...
Next comes the ceiling boards, on top of that comes a "chase way" for plumbing and electrical, and then the framing goes up for the second floor... you can now see the house from the road, and today in church, we received a number of compliments and got to meet a few more of our neighbors....guess folks are beginning to notice that "we are really here"...
