Day 26 - 03/12/2007

It is amazing how much work can be done with some nice weather and a great crew of carpenters. Keep in mind that they started framing last Thursday (3/8) and now it's Monday afternoon and we have walls around 60% of the first floor and OSB on about 30% of the exterior. They are moving quickly; I only hope that Mandy and I can keep up with them!

Here are a few pictures that I took today. Don't forget that you can click on the pictures to see a larger image.


This picture looks into the kitchen and breakfast area. There will be a wall where the Wendy's cup is... :)




This picture is taken from inside the great room. This is looking toward the kitchen and breakfast area. The doorway on the left is not supposed to be there. We'll talk with the builders tomorrow to get that taken out. We want to have an nice open flow between the great room and breakfast area and the little wing-wall is not going to help!

Here is a view into the back corner of our bedroom. The back corner is where the sitting area will be. There are three windows (you can only see two of them here) that look at Signal Mountain. There is a beautiful notch in the mountains that reflect some awesome afternoon sunlight!

This one is from the back corner of the master bedroom, looking toward the front of the house. It's amazing how beautiful this March sky is.

This picture is taken from the entry-way looking into the dining room.

This is a picture of the front of the house taken from the front porch. The opening to the right is the windows in the dining room. The opening on the left is our front door. We're going to have a single door without any sidelights, but we will have an arched transom above the door.

Here's a few pictures of the house from the road.
