Framing

 It's been a few days since Steve and I have visited/stalked our lot and this is what we discovered today...

...ECSTATIC only begins to explain how we felt! I cannot believe how quickly our house is coming together.

 It seems to be growing overnight.

 As you can see the garage is still in the beginning stages with just blocks in place at this point and the gravel is where our driveway will be located.

Today we visited in two parts, before and after a meeting with our lending guy. We had some questions about our mortgage commitment letter and it just so happened the underwriter sent incorrect forms. I am very thankful we scheduled this meeting because now my mind is at ease. A suggestion for all home buyers: do your research and ask questions. You want to believe you are working with professional people (and most of the time you are) that are honest and reliable, but doing your homework and speaking up when you have a concern has made a tremendous difference in our home buying process. Trust me it pays off in the end!

Part two of our visit happened when the crew had already departed for the day, so Steve and I took the opportunity to explore.

Looks like we will have windows installed by the end of the weekend

Soon to be a fireplace

Framing is definitely my favorite part of the housing process thus far. Seeing your house literally being built before your eyes is an incredible experience. I am so excited to see what develops next!
