Our New House

My family is having a new house built. Here are some pictures of the ongoing construction. As is becoming a theme, this is a work-in-progress and more pictures will be added as time permits.

The roof is complete and work is being done on the cover for the deck in the back. The duct-work and drain pipes have been installed.

Here is the family room.

Here is a shot from the family room into the common eating area (nook).

They started on the roof trusses a couple of days ago. The final look of the house is starting to show.


In this picture, the first floor is almost completely framed. When it's done, the house will have two floors and almost 3000 sq. ft. of floor space.

Here the second floor has been added. This picture is taken from the back and shows the extruded common eating area. Note that Shawn is in this picture; he loves playing in the dirt.


The foundation is complete.


Here the foundation is being poured.

Putting up the foundation mold.


The area has been excavated and the footings are being set.
