Framing Frenzy

We spent another great weekend at the property checking out the progress of the framing and marveling that the Lord has made the building of this house possible. We were blessed with a couple of clear nights so we could see the Milky Way and stars galore. It's a rare sight for those of us who have grown up and lived in the city all our lives!

Our framing contractor Sam is a wonder to behold. I've titled this post Framing Frenzy for a reason! He's fast and extremely efficient. He framed our addition at our Castro Valley house so we knew his work. The neighbors up at the bluff are amazed at his speed and tell us that he's not one to stop and chat, which is good if you're the one paying the bills!

This first photo was taken from the garage looking in the door leading into the house, down the hallway and out into the greatroom.

This is the main floor. The framing below is the master bedroom and the area underneath the greatroom. We'll use that area for storage.

This one is of the master bedroom. The greatroom will be on top of it, and as you walk towards the garage there will be a bathroom, laundry room, bedroom and quilting studio.

Here's Billy checking out the view. We agree with him that it is spectacular.

On Saturday evening we watched the sunset from our living room for the first time. It was a bit drafty but with a coat and a quilt to wrap up in it was worth it. It will only be a few weeks until that draft will be stopped by walls and windows.
