My patience has really been tested the past couple of weeks, as it has been about two weeks since our house was touched. I’ve visited every day, amazed at how fast our neighborhood is looking more and more like a little community, and of course to check and see if framing had started on our home. Well, late this evening, driving around with a friend, I decided to drive through my neighborhood and to my screams of delight I saw this:
Let me tell you, it was like Christmas Day!! I was so utterly excited and took way too many photos, but I will post a few for your viewing pleasure. It’s interesting how looking at the footprint of the house with just the foundation, our home seemed smaller than I’d imagined. But now as I begin to see it take shape, it looks much bigger. Hats off to the framing crew who were working till sunset to get our first floor completed.
I met a couple of neighbors sitting on their porch today (I still wish we’d been able to get the porch, but I’m not bitter. Not at all. Nope. Not me.) They were very friendly and seem pretty settled in their home.
Oh yeah. Last Monday, I got a call from our Guardian rep asking if we could meet last Wednesday to mark out our home for wiring. I thought this was strange, as it would mean that our house would be framed in 2 days! Of course, wires had been crossed (pun intended) and we postponed the meeting. Maybe it will happen next week though!
Now for the pics:
