More Progress - Framing

Framing on the first floor is done and the second floor is close to done. Thankfully the hurricane was far enough out we only experienced high winds and rain. Did not damage anything at the lot. 
From the back yard; looking at side of garage (cinderblock), office and back porch upstairs, kitchen and living room upstairs.


From the lot next to ours. Side view of house and detached garage.

From the street. Look at the atrium (big hole on 1st floor) will be glass, Theater wall 1st floor and our bedroom 2nd floor.

Floor trusses in garage for the 2nd floor.

From the office on the 1st floor looking out.

From the 1st floor half bath looking out.

From the Atrium looking out.

Theater looking in from the atrium.

Closet closest to the camera, then costco closet, then tech room for theater.

Costco closet! YAY!

Tech closet

View from the back porch. The open space you see in front of you is the porch. The porch is not framed yet. I was standing in the living room where the 16ft sliding glass door will be.

From the kitchen looking into the living room.

Kitchen hallway into the atrium.

Bedroom window - starts at 5 feet.

Hard to see but this is the two doors to our bathroom and walk in closet. We have a window in our walk in closet!

1 of 2 bathroom windows and the walk in closet window.

Laundry Room

That is what we have so far. Everything looks so much bigger with 10 ft ceilings! As progress continues I will continue to post!

Framing has begun!

This next post is one of the most exciting ones yet for me. I dont get excited about much, I am an impulse shopper and like to have everything in hand when I say I want it, if I have to wait I lose interest. This has finally felt real after these next few pictures......

When returning from Seattle after my trip in August for Lauren's wedding, Jon drove me straight to the lot from the airport excited to show me the progress. I have to admit I was impressed and I am sure you all all excited to see as well!
