Start of the framing 3/29/14

It is finally starting to look like a house now that the framing phase has started. The decisions are already starting to pile up. Our builder, Micky Barnes, asked what color windows we wanted. Seems like an easy decision right? NO! It is not, beige or clay....clay or beige?? We decided to look at brick and stone and thought that might help us make a decision. That turned out to be an even harder task. We found a stone we like but finding a brick color that we think will match the stone is an exhausting process. We drove around neighborhoods for a couple hours looking at different houses. We see brick we like and now have to try and figure out what the color is called. The brick was furnished by the company our builder recommended, so hopefully using the address and picture, the brick company will be able to look up the brick type in their database. We saw houses with the stone we liked but the brick that was paired with it was not appeasing to our eyes. And the search continues....
I think we are going with the clay windows since we seem to be leaning towards brick and stone that are in that color family.

Working with Dad

Today my dad and I went out to the land to clear a portion of the existing barbed wire fence that is along the road front. Whew...that was not an easy task. We cleared out four eight foot sections and took out three posts. Thorn bushes, cedar trees and lot of vines and nasty weeds were tangled among the barbed wire. Even though it was hard work we enjoyed each others company and made a great team.


When we arrived we were surprised to see the septic area was already sectioned off. Bigger than I expected but there is still plenty of room for the house. :-)

Big pile is nasty weeds and brush we cleared.

Dad hard at work!

New spot cleared for the driveway.


We used the stakes from the fence to show were we want the house to go up.
Hard to see but they are there! 

After all the hard work we had dinner to celebrate the progress, salmon, green beans and a chocolate ganache CAKE!! from Whole Foods.
