HERE'S A PEEK AT OUR PROGRESS
Never thought we would really see this much snow. But this was 12/28/07.
Still a couple hundred yards from our southern property line.
The windows were installed the day before it snowed. 4 sliders and 22 windows.
A snowny view from the road above.
Looking through the double slider in the solarium. See the snow? It's December 28th.
Finally the windows go in. They look great. This is the double slider in the great room.
The roof got done just in time for Xmas and the snow!
Getting ready to put the roof on.
Looking at the great room.
The wood burning firelplace in the corner of the great room goes in. It weighs 500 pounds!
Standing in the solarium looking at the kitchen and upstairs.
Upstairs is a slider to a balcony.
OH OH OH, this is when it really started looking cool.
Standing close to the well down below.
This is Jeff, le framer extrodinaire!
OK... I know you can see the kitchen NOW! Maybe!?!
Another view from the road.
Starting to look like something, I think!
A look at the first and second floors.
A view from upstairs looking at the mastersuite framing.
This is Jeff's dog Duke. He is trying to help. Although he doesn't ever want to give up that piece of wood!
The beam over the kitchen goes in.
More beams in the garage. They are 24" high!
Thank goodness for sunny days!
I had no idea how big the beams were.
Can you see the kitchen yet?
And the interior framing begins!
Making room for the crane.
Another vew from the back.

Another peek from the driveway.
Bracing just before the pour.

A whole lot of gravel starts out this garage!
Setting the braces before the concrete pour. this will be a 30" raised foundation.
A view from the road. See the kitchen now?
The first of the logix icf go up for the stem walls.
