Day15: We've been Framed!

Good Grief! I was out there yesterday and it was just a slab! And today, POOF!, there's a frame!
We got an e-mail today from our sales lady, saying they had started the framework. So we drove out to take a peek and, by golly, there it was! We expected to see a loose image of a house, maybe the sticks for the exterior walls- but there are rooms and stairs and two stories!
(Once again, you can click on the photos to enlarge them.)

view from the front sidewalk

step in the front door and turn right= stairs! (presently they lead nowhere)

crummy shot from the living room corner- my husband's standing in the foyer, by the stairs

standing in the dining room corner, facing the living/foyer. The pvc pipe in the middle of the room is for the sink in the island between the kitchen and living room.

view from stairwell. My camera's display screen is going out- I was trying to get a shot of the second floor. The doorway in the lower right corner is the closet under the stairs. You can see the field through the back wall. That's the view our side window will have. There's a large white historic looking mansion over there.

standing in the side alley, looking at the house. You can see the opening upstairs for the side window that faces the field. You can also see the two houses going up next door. The one right next to us has a sold sign...neighbors! Hooray!

This is from the back of the backyard. Lots of lumber... The downstairs window on the left is the living room. The dining room window is covered by the plywood.

When we pulled up tonight there were children running around the street with scooters. My kids got out to play and meet some new friends. This is the view from across the street.

It was a bit too dark to keep taking pictures, but this is a shot from the entrance to our street. We'll live on the end at the entrance to the alley.

We are very impressed with the progress they've made on our home. The saleswoman gave a 90 day start-to-finish estimate, but told us her builder quotes 60- shockingly, our super friendly neighbor Charlie said his house was completed in just 45! We're looking at a late June move in! I'm amazed.
