I know it isn’t all that interesting to anyone else, but it’s just so cool to be building a home of our very own.

At the end of April, we had the foundation completed and we started the framing. By the end of the day tomorrow, we will have rough plumbing, electrical, hvac, siding and soffit completed. The next steps will be to get it insulated and ready to sheetrock. It’s utterly amazing to me how quickly this work has gone.

Most of these photos were posted on the blog previously, but I know the photos weren’t working well, so I’m reposting this.

Backfill will happen this weekend, then we’ll get the garage floor poured and framing will start next week. Fun stuff!
