Slab and framing

After a week delay due to weather we finally got our slab poured on 1/18.

I went to the lot to get pictures early in the morning before I went to work so that I could get a shot of the slab before the framing started, but to my surprise the framers were already out there working.
I was so excited about seeing progress that I had to go after work as well.

As you can see the first floor is well on its way in the framing stage. It is amazing how much can be done in one day.

We are excited to watch our house go up.

the beginning

On January 3rd, 2011 we started building our house. We are so excited as we have waited about 4 years to begin this process. The last year has been spent developing the house plans and applying for the loan. What a painful process that was, thank heavens we can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

This is the progress that has been made over the first week. Foundation is almost ready to be poured.

 The boys are excited to be at the lot. Jess and I loved looking at the house and the boys loved throwing the dirt clods.
