House Framing Coming Along...
Well, it's not proceeding as planned, but what ever does? Progress is being made and for that we are thankful. Here's my scraproom...and the view facing the kitchen french doors leading out to the covered deck, eventually! LOL

House Building Update!
Well, I've been meaning to post some pictures of our building project for a long time now...but you know how it is.
We started the whole thing way back in November of last year when I made the appointment for a permit application. The first open slot was for March, so that already put us out almost 1/2 year. Then we brought in our houseplans which we bought on the internet.
This is a picture of the original plans:
We took these to an architect, who sucks BTW, and had them altered. We added a bay to the garage, a bonus room over the garage and several extra bathrooms, you know those darn plumbers, can't have too many bathrooms. LOL We started with 2500 square feet and now have 35oo square feet after alterations. There were other changes made later on but not by the architect. We had enough problems with what he did/didn't do...
We finally started prepping the site on August 1st of this year by mowing the lot. Since then we've put in most of the drainage ditches,
sprinkler system, electrical, septic tank, cable, etc. Concrete work started on the 13th of September with forms 
being installed for the foundation pour later that month. The plumbing was put in
on the 25th and the infloor heat piping was stapled on the insulation foam on the 29th. We had the concrete guys pour the floor on October the 10th, after which I was watering concrete for two days straight so it wouldn't crack. Of course both of those days were gorgeous and sunny so it had to be watered every 15 minutes. On the 23rd of October we finally started t
he framing after a week long delay. So that's the stage we are at now...today being the 2nd of November and pouring rain this morning. So the framers left after an hour and then it stopped raining. Of Course!!!
Watch for an update in the next month...
