Day 71

The framers are working fast, all this went up in two days. I'm trying to get pictures often but it's difficult to keep up with them! It's so exciting to see the framing, we're finding just having walls up around the foundation makes the place feel so much bigger. I'm starting to realize this house is going to be a lot larger than it looks on paper. Hopefully in the end we'll have a house that blends in with the surroundings, not a giant monstrosity on a hill. One thing's for certain though, just about every room in the house will have a great view!

These guys work fast!




Wasting as little wood as possible

We also spent today digging a giant trench from the house to the well house and garage for our water and communications lines. The trench literally looked like our very own backyard Grand Canyon. I think it would also make an excellent luge run in the winter.

Ready to greet friends at our future front door!
