Day 18 - Roof

Today was a super fun day to go out to the house because they got the roof on above the garage! These peaks look really high to me because I am used to our house (not a walk-out). Everything just seems so much taller because of how high the house needs to be in order to accommodate our floor plan. 

View from the back of the house. 

They also put the plywood on for the floor of the upstairs, so hopefully we will see more framing done with that tomorrow!! It is so exciting seeing it all come together! 

I picked out our garage door today and plumbing fixtures. Hopefully more on that sometime this week!! 

Day 5 - Blueprints - 5/30

Unfortunately it was another wet and rainy day, so not a lot got accomplished on the basement! I am hoping that with the nice weather we are supposed to have these next couple of days, that they can make some real progress!!

Here is the picture of where we are currently at :)

I decided that since I am sick of looking at block and dirt, I would put our floor plans up! Here is a photo of the exterior. We are doing tonal grays and a lot of stone. I really, really like the look of the stone and I don't think I will regret doing it :)

This is our basement. We are doing a walkout so that it is easy access to the hockey rink in the winter :) We decided to make one of the bedrooms downstairs into an exercise room so that we don't have to drive into Rochester to go to the gym everyday! The basement will also have a bar and I am hoping to do a neat wall for our TV. 

This is our main level. We are going to have a large, dramatic foyer, which I am excited about :) We also decided to do a coffered ceiling in the family room and I am still deciding on my statement piece for the kitchen!! 

Upstairs living is just us and the boys :) The boys have their rooms, and bathroom; laundry up; and the master suite! We decided to expand our closet in this home because Baron hates tripping over my shoes ;)

I hope this was a more fun read than just pictures of block and dirt!! Looking forward to more progress being made today!

Day 3 - The Basement

They started on the basement now!! Yay!! It is fun to see where everything is going to go and have a better visual of the house! 

The look from the back of the house is neat to me! We are going to have a walkout, so you can see on the left will be a guest bedroom (in the jut-out area) and the right will be our family with a patio door to outside. 

We had beautiful black dirt/top soil, but in order to do a walkout, they had to scrape down our backyard. Here is Tristan in front of a huge pile of dirt! It really puts into perspective how big that pile actually is! And we have three more of them on our property!!

It is Memorial Day Weekend, so it will be a few days until I update next! To be honest, it feels like the progress is going quickly right now! I love seeing the changes day to day!!
