Hat's Off, But Almost Ready to Go On!

The weather was working against the crew today as they continued to frame up the house. As I talked to Rick this afternoon he used the expression "put the hat on" to refer to the roof being added. So hat's off to the team for getting the framing closer to putting that hat ON!

Also this week, we've firmed up the floor plans with our scored and stained concrete expert, Emily Heroman of NuCrete Designs. She's most excited about our plans and we can't wait to see her work her magic on the floors. Rick mentioned this afternoon that he's seen our completed front door as well, so we're very excited about the windows and doors being added soon. Wow... it's almost too fast to be real.

Hammering Right Along!

It's amazing to watch a house take shape. All the skill and precision and engineering that go into every piece of wood. Here are some pictures from this afternoon with more to follow this week as the skeleton of the roof goes up.

Framing Underway!

Framing is well underway and going quite well thanks to the expert craftsmen on Rick's crew. The walls should be finished by Tuesday and then they'll start on the ceiling and roof. Everyday it gets closer to looking like a house.

A key meeting this week is with Robert at RS Superior Cabinets to discuss our cabinetry and shelving. Last week we met with Emily Heroman at Nucrete to discuss our scored and stained concrete floors, which we'll be finalizing in plans with her this week.

So many details, so little time! So much fun, though. More to come.
