We HAVE WINDOWS!!!!!! and the house was a wrapped up!

All the windows were installed yesturday, and I was thrilled to show up this morning and find them all in place.  The plumbers were there and all the drains have been installed.  When I left this morning they were finishing the framing and installing the stairs.

Sliders of the dinning area.... out to the back yard.

I've been slacking..... I know!!!

Ok... I have been slacking on the posts, and I have had many people point that out.  So here is the update!!  The front port is on, the roof is complete, and the shingles are on!  I meet the electrician, Plumber, and HVAC guy at the house on Thursday..... So lets hope for the luck of the irish!!!!  Were currently working on the stone, stucco, and siding colors, and then the focus goes back insde  for the finish colors!  Lots to pick from.... one can only hope you pick the right stuff!

The Race is ON!!!!!!

We are expecting 2-3 inches of rain starting tonight, and going all day tomorrow!  Shingles were expected to be delivered tomorrow, but plans have changed.  They are fighting to get the entire roof under felt before the end of the day today!!!  I wasn't aware of that, so showing up and seeing the beginings of a roof was awsome!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone..... ITs your AM photo Update!!!!

Ran by this morning to take a peak before everyone one got the job site....  That is with out question my favorite time to be at the house.  I get to take my time and take in all the work that has been done so far.  Tons or work accomplished, but lots more to do.  Get to meet many of the contractors at the house  tommorrow to get the ball rolling on HVAC, final framing and any other details.

Welcome tot he future kitchen!!!! 18 ft ceilings!!!!

Its growing.......

Hey Everyone.... Been gone fore a few days, so now I'm playing catch up.  Chrissie took photos from the weekend, but I have not downloaded them as of yet.  The house is framed and for the most the sheathing is complete.  Shingles get delivered tomorrow... and then that will start shortly.

ITs going so fast.......

IF the guys would not think i was crazy, and if I had the time..... I would literally sit and watch this all day long.  I am simply amazed by the pace that these guys work.

Take a look at these photos and they will speak for themselves.  I spoke with the framers this evening, and there goal is to be done by the end of the weekend so they can start a new job next week.  I love that!!!!

What a day...... 2nd floor, and another fire!

So I started the day walking the property at 7am and was thrilled to see even more walls were up after we left the house at 5 yesterday.  Started working and got a phone call at 10:30 telling me that the electric box was smoking.  Ran over to the house to find that it wasn't just smoking, but it had been on fire.  Our lovely PECO took 6  hours to show up to the issue.  They told me if I felt it was an emergency..... call 911.  So let me get this strait.... Call 911, get my volunteer fire company, state troopers, and fire Marshall to my house so that we can all wait for PECO to do there job....... That makes since.

Here nor there.... the framers never slowed down, and they did a great job.  They stayed away from the electric panel all day, but started on the second floor. 

Don't look like much, but that's a ton of wood!  Hopefully the dame fireplace goes away tomorrow.

This guy is handing up plywood for the 2nd story floor

yes..... that's me in the shower!

The walls have been raised..........

Well if you saw the earlier post, I said not much happened at the house today....... Well I was proven very wrong when I showed up this evening and found the first walls being raised.  I can't begin to express how that felt..... it was a home run, a super bowl touch down.... it was big!!!!

Our house is going up..... verses coming down!

March 1st......

Not much to photograph today, but I plan on going back over today before I pick up the boys..... So who knows.  Paul and his guy working on building up some of the concrete walls for the framers to work off of.  The framing crew was pretty busy.  They tighten up the floor joists, and made sure that we had a strong base to work off of.  I'm hoping for the 9ft timbers to be delivered today, so i can start seeing a few walls going up.

We had some fun last night.... found out Chrissie's office gets 40% off appliances, so we picked out all of our new appliances and are having them delivered in 90days.  so the pressure is one....... we need a kitchen to put these things in.... in 90 days.

what are the odds.....
