TRUSSES!

Most of the trusses went up this week. They needed the crane to put up 2 huge beams that support the left side of the second floor. So, they put those up and now they can finish framing the second floor. Then they put the garage and great room/dining room trusses up. They will finish framing the entry/stairway and second floor next week and hope to have the crane back to finish up the trusses. They also plan to pour the concrete floors in the lower level and garage. I'm working on getting the power and phone into the site. Yikes, that's a kid's college fund! I'm still working with my designer to pick stuff out AND stay in budget--that's the hard part. She says that I'm doing remarkably well even though I feel like everything is over. Bret and I are trying to contain the overage chaos. Enjoy the pics! More soon!


Front of garage with bonus room above. I can't wait for those 10' doors so I don't worry about banging the Suburban on the garage or Bret's car!


Only one wall is framed on the entry/stairway (and it's not done yet). The door on the left is the door into the mudroom (and there'll be a transom window to the right of it). The small square one is the powder room.


Holy cow it's high! But just wait until the second floor trusses are on!
