While the fun outside stuff was happening (see our last post about shingles) they were finishing up lots of detail items on the inside.
In the Bonus Room (or Theater Room) They added the knee walls to the sides.

OoOoOoOo!!! The roof beams are in and we are in LOVE! The space is really taking shape and we are getting closer to seeing what the final roof line will look like (instead of imagining an endless amount of options).
From the second floor the view is just stunning. It is probably another 12 feet or so to those crossbeams. That will be a flat section on the ceiling of the great room that we expected. It just all feels so spacious.
We had some beautiful 70 degree days this week so Wednesday the crew got SO MUCH done!
We come right about 4:15 and they were just cleaning up for the day. And look at that - we have the start of our roof line!
Looking down the unfinished space that will be above the garage. Mike is already researching best practices when building a theater room.
We have spent every evening at the house. So much has gotten done this week, we are splitting it up into multiple posts - for what was done each day.
This is the photo we keep taking as we pull up to the house every time. I am excited to put these all together at the end and make a time-lapse.
They started on the framing upstairs Tuesday. This is the view from the living room. And, a peak at that staircase *swoon*
When we got back from vacation on Monday 2/12, we were eager to see what kind of progress was made the week before. Our builder had us front some money before we left to pay some of the labor costs toward framing, so we expected to see this started. Sure enough, the structure has begun and it's starting to look like a house! They even had both the front and back porches and garage floor completed. I'd say that's pretty good progress for only 1 week.
The problem is that we are running into the rainy season in this area. We apparently don't get snow, but just get rain. And boy has it. I see nothing but rain over the next 15 days. When it rains, people don't want to work. I don't blame them, but on the other hand, don't they want to get paid? The materials are okay in the rain, and the majority of the day it is only a couple sprinkles so I hope it is the cooler weather/rain combo than just the 2 rain sprinkles that disincentivizes the work. I digress... They've made a good amount of progress.
