Another overview of site showing driveway view	Footers poured

Foundation walls going up

15 April 2006
Foundation filled in and leveled, ready for concrete	Foundation block walls being filled with concrete	Filling the slab	First pass with the floats

17 April 2006
Wood delivered today, let's go!	About two hours later	End of the first day's work - 3 hours to this point	Car's eve view from the driveway

18 April 2006
Raise high the roof beam, carpenters...	Walls plumb and level, sheathing going on	Interior is full of braces	Today's site view	The pile is getting smaller	Fun with string

20 April 2006
Cutting rafters for the gable and shed roofs	Patiently waiting to get inside	Starting to look like the drawings	More vehicles waiting to come in out of the weather	View from the back yard

25 April 2006
Front view as the framers finish up their work	View from the uphill side, with sheathing mostly done	Inside view showing beam, joists and shed rafters	View from the downhill side	Interior bracing maze - no room for cars yet

27 April 2006
Siding nearly finished	Needs a little more on the back side	Just some shingles and a dab of paint...	Inside view showing nice door installation
