Siding and upper level framing

We visited the farm during our busy week of graduation, family visits and birthdays. It was fun to show off the new house and again see the progress the rough-in crew had made during the last week.

These pictures show the normal exterior shots.

from Parking area.

West side.
Notice the foil? That's on the extra layer of foam insulation. The garage has no insulation,
just Tyvek over wood.

Southwest corner.
Notice the strips on the insulation. They will create an air space between
the insulation and the siding.

window of the "office" space.

Our tour of the inside was where we saw the most change. The crew has framed in all of the interior walls. And we were busy last week working out the details so that the plumber could get the basic water lines in. We also met with Bob McCartney about our kitchen cabinets.

Here are just a few of the interior pictures.

One side of the closet in our master bedroom.
By today's standard this room will be small. But, with the walls in, we can tell
this will be plenty of space for us.

Here are the pantry (right) and coat closet (left).
The pantry was modified to utilize the space over the stairs. It's huge!

living room, office and kitchen/dining room.

We couldn't be more pleased with the size of the interior rooms. It's just right! (I feel like Goldilocks.) And the view out the windows impresses us every time we walk into the house. Inside we are dancing with happiness (we let Jeremy do the actual dancing - he's better at it than we are).
