Framing=Finished!

Hip, hip, hooray, the framing is done today! Well, technically it was done a few days ago, but that doesn't sound quite as catchy, does it?  Here's our home on the Lane!

Isn't she gorgeous?  I still say she needs a name. Here's a rundown of what's been happening at the house. When we left off, the framing had started and the house looked like this.

The main level was started although there was still some to finish, as you can see. They finished that part up pretty quickly and the builders went to work on the second level (when I say pretty quickly, I'm talking in one day, which meant we couldn't capture all the stages of building because we were at work).

 

Once the second story was up, then the roof trusses went on.

And then the plywood went onto the roof trusses, and the windows were put in (you can see one window installed in the photo below--the rest are in the photo below).

Lastly, they installed the rest of the windows, put up the shingles and finished framing the front porch (one of my favorite parts of our home on the Lane).  There are still a details to finish up with the framing/roof, but that part is 99% complete.

And there she is! We're working on putting together a little video tour of the house soon, so stay tuned!
