And when they were only half way up...

...the rain came pouring down!

It's been raining all night and day, so work on the house has halted for the time being.  The forecast is for rain for another few days, so I guess we're in a holding pattern for now.



You never know, the sun might peep out for a little while tomorrow and the boys will be able to spring into action!

Fascia and gutters are due Tuesday, so I guess as long as the framers are done by then, we'll remain on schedule.

Frameage

I've been holding on to last week's pics, waiting for a completed frame to share it with you.  However, there was noone on site this morning, so I thought I'd go ahead and upload some photos.  The next round should show the roof trusses erected.



I sent our first progress payment off last night, too, so we're certainly moving forward.

Happy Monday, everyone!!

Slab-tastic!

Today was the day that the slab went down.  Yee hah!

Prep



One helluva drop edge beam!



Overall, I'm quite happy with the amount of room left around the house.  We always knew it would be tight, but the front yard (which is our only yard space) feels huge, so I'm really happy with that.

I mentioned today that I've started planning our new house already.  Crazy?  Probably.  Loving it?  Definitely!

Frame will be delivered tomorrow afternoon, with the frame kicking off on Thursday.  Be prepared for lots of photos this week!
