Our Decking Is Done!

Whew! The first big phase of the house is pretty much done! The roof is all in and we can really see what the final version will look like. And if you haven't gathered the feeling already, we LOVE IT!!!

Forgive us, we are going to go a bit out of order for a couple of days and have photos from multiple days of work. So many little things are getting done each day, to blog about each individual piece seemed like madness. So, here are our big complete projects!

The roof is completely in and everything is gorgeous. We haven't lost too much of the view and we have sooooo much natural light.

The Loft Wall Is In {I Repeat} The Loft Wall IS IN!!

So a bit of a fail here since I am not starting our post with a front-of-the-house view like normal, but a) I was just too excited to get inside and check out the day's progress and 2) you couldn't see much from outside anyway.

The loft wall is {almost} in and it is the piece we have been waiting for!

Look at that! Oh my! This is EXACTLY what we were hoping for and everything {just} fits. The last window to the right isn't cut out yet, but it is there. The fireplace will go in between all the windows and will just be beautiful.

Some of these views we have to capture now while we can. This is standing in the storage room. Since the roof deck isn't on yet, I can still see into the great room. All the natural light is going to be amazing.

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*
