I have decided to start a blog so that we can track the progress as our new house is built.
I'm sure some of our friends and family may be interested in the progress as well.
So please feel free to follow the journey of the building of our first home together.

1/29/11 and 1/30/11 - They framed our house in 1 week!!!

I can not believe how quick these guys are.  It was only last Saturday that they started framing our house, and this Saturday our house is completely framed!  They also have our front porch and back steps poured.


The west facing side of our house.

The back (south-facing) side of our house.

This is a picture of the back of our house from a distance.

This is the first room as you walk in the front door...the formal living room.

This is our kitchen.  Looks like the started building our island!

And our dining room, where the sliding glass door will be.

Here is our living room.  I love the windows!  And you can see where the fireplace will be to the right.

We can kind of see the mountains from our house!  This is a picture out our living room windows (facing south).

This is a picture from the second level, looking down the stairs.  More windows!

And here is the loft (just an open room) that will be on the second level at the top of the stairs.

Dad standing in the loft, checking out our bonus room.

The bonus room.

Bathroom on the second level.

One of the bedrooms on the second level.

Our laundry room on the second level, and also where they will put or second furnace.

The master bedroom (they were actually working on it here)

Hard to see, but that's our walk-in closet.  We have a window in our closet!  :-)

Just a picture of the second level from the top of the stairs.  There is a bedroom in the far left and the far right.

And here is our basement...boring, but there is plumbing, floors and walls!  This is where our bathroom will be, that we will put in ourselves down the line.

There is the drain they have for our sink we will put in near our bar.  :-)
 


And when we went back on Sunday they finished our front porch!





 

Chad and Dad in our garage...checking things out. We did the 8 foot garage door, instead of the normal 7 foot one, because I'm sure Chad will have another big truck someday.  :-)
 

I'm guessing the next steps will be windows, doors and shingles so they can keep the wind from blowing through while the finish the interior.
