Sub flooring and photo of driveway

The sub flooring is in and the markings for the studs and walls, etc. are completed.
Walls (2x6s) go up mid next week. The main level is nearly 15 ft off the ground...more than we estimated. Better view...let's hope. Nice long driveway for snow plowing.
And, the photo above is Highland Drive. Our driveway is to the left past the orange recycle bin.

Framing this new house

We have a tent over the house building due to the HOT, hot weather and direct sunshine. It helps.
The basement is HUGE! Anyone want to come live with us? Ha!
Today they are putting in the floor joists and next week the subflooring. Don't I sound like a contractor?! We are pleased with the work and the crew.

Here is our guy...the builder of kitchen cabinets. A man in his glory.

Hello all, We are now digging the ditches for the lines for water, electricity, cable ,etc.

Gary and crew are starting the stick framing today if they can get throught the 96 degree weather. It is all exciting!

Waiting...

Well, we are on hold for now. We expect the pouring of the garage pad and workshop pad by Tuesday. We can put our handprints in the wet cement too. Ha!
We will send pics soon as progress is made. Thanks for joining us.

This is the crew:
Gary, our contractor, Walt, Dave (Caitlin's guy), Frank and Brian.

The garage is in the front to the left of our courtyard. It will need some fill for a concrete pad.




Facing the right side of house down the hillside.You can see 3-4 defined rectangular forms for the pour. Closest room is our bedroom and then the Great room then a den/bedroom.
