3 Years Ago Last Week (since I skipped it while we were on vacay): We had basement walls!
And the start of the basement ceiling/first floor…
This was a very exciting week for us. We had waited an entire month just to see a hole in the ground. In one week we had an entire framed basement. This progress was extremely promising!
3 Years Ago This Week: We had the start of a first floor!
The start of the dining room…very exciting! The original plans did not call for the large picture window facing west. The people we worked with to design the house strongly discouraged it because it limited the amount of furniture we could place in the room. I knew I wanted to paint the dining room a dark color and we wanted all of the natural light we could get in the room so I went with my gut. It turned out to be a great decision (pats self on back).
The garage walls also went up!
And the walkway to our master bedroom on the first floor was started. Do you like the openness of our living room at this point??? So breezy…
Ike approved of the building progress….check out that tail wag!
Let us know if you have any questions regarding the process (be sure to leave your e-mail or make sure your profile has your e-mail listed!) or if you have any questions about what’s going on in any of the photos!
Amazing progress in such a short time!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool to be able to see the home building process from the ground up. Literally. Good for you for sticking to your guns and including the extra window in your dining room. After seeing your fabulous dining room all finished in a previous post, it is obvious that knew what you were doing! Silly builders and architects. What do they know?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been so amazing to watch your house "grow" before your eyes! We hope to have the pleasure of doing this one day. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteit would be so amazing to be able to build a house someday! I am enjoying reading about this process...so cool!
ReplyDeleteI've built and restored several homes over the years and there is nothing more exciting than watching a new project come out of the ground!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! When I see your pics I'm reminded of my childhood home which my parents designed and had built. They acutally laid the foundation themselves, which they wouldn't recommend doing. I remember how exciting it was as each room was built and started taking shape. I think my love of decorating and DIYing came from that experience.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories!
