Beginning the framing

This was the scene this morning at about 10:30 am when I got by to look at the house. It's really hard to believe that just yesterday morning I was watching them pour wet concrete into the frames. In this shot the outline of the house is done and all the rooms are also outlined with wood that is anchored to the concrete.










Then tonight I went by again, and lo and behold here's what you can see
from the bottom of the stairs (and the street).

And here's a picture taken from up in the tree house. I didn't have much time because I was coming from a graduation party for a friend of ours and had to get to choir practice, but I took just a few minutes to walk through the "rooms". It was fun, and exciting, and looking at plans on a piece of paper sure can be different from what happens in the real world. For one, I thought our closets would be huge because of the way they looked on the drawings, but after seeing them in real life they look really small. I hope that's just a perception thing because I was looking forward to more closet space. The laundry room also looks very small
