Framing Week 3

There have been some major changes this week and the house is really taking shape. The house is pretty much framed and now they have started the trusses.

 I have been so grateful and humbled and the number of people that have come to help us. I have only had to go up a couple nights so that Matt wouldn't be alone. He has had some great help that has made the work go so much faster. I am so grateful to the families that have let their family come up and help. Thank you will never be enough

Week 3 has come to a close. I think it is really starting to wear on Matt. He is exhausted but is pushing thru. I will be glad when he is back to just generaling the project. He said next time he will have someone else do all the work...lol. I say give his 6 months and he will forget how hard it was.

Framing Week 2

This weeks progress has slowed down quite a bit since Matt is back at work and only able to work on the house at night but we are still  moving along. Matt works til 5 then heads to the lot to frame until dark. I don't know how he does it it just sounds exhausting. The last of the exterior walls are going up! This is the family room front wall perfect for taking in the beautiful view.

Im getting more anxious and less patient as the house takes shape of the final project. I sure hope we love it when we move in. There are so many choices to make and hopefully when all is said and done they looks great together.

 Our Master bedroom and bathroom windows. Matt text me Friday morning and said I think our bedroom window is bigger than I anticipated. I wasn't sure if he meant that as a good or a bad thing. After a few more texts back and forth he sent me this picture. We talked and decided it will be awesome, We are planning on putting in a window seat to sit and look out this window to the beautiful view

 I can see more and more everyday the shape the house is taking! Its really exciting. While Matt has been building the girls and I have been working on the decorating elements I can't wait

 Friday Ben, Jon, and Matt worked until about 5:30 then they called it a dya since we had a flight to catch. We are headed to Vegas for the weekend for my brothers homecoming and to spend some time together. I think this is coming at a great time Matt physically needs a break he has been working hard and long hours!

Framing Day 3 & 4

Wed the 22nd Jon and Matt spent most of the day putting in blocking before starting the sheeting of the floor. Kerry and Nick also came up to help them get the sheeting on. Its so crazy to me how much more they get done with more just a couple more people. They came home in time for a late dinner since it was raining and they were just plain old flat out exhausted. Here is when they were working on all of the blocking in.

 And then the sheeting

Thursday the 23rd they Jon, Matt, and Ben were able to get the remainder of the floor on and get a great start on the walls.

 Yeah we have a floor!

 The girls and I brought up dinner and ready to work. Matt had mentioned that the work site needed to be cleaned up. Rather than having him waste his time and energy doing that the girls and I did that for a couple hours after we finished dinner. Emery was so good I fed her before we left and she slept until we were ready to head for home so we got a lot accomplished for sure.
