House Pictures

When I posted the story about the fire, I knew that it wouldn't have many comments.  There just isn't much that can be commented on with a story like that.  And I wondered if I should even do the story, but it is in the mix of what has happened here.  Not everything in life is wonderful, but it still needs to be conveyed, so I did the story...  I hope it isn't too disturbing.

I promised to take and post pictures of the neighbor's house that will be much like our new home.  It is about three or four weeks ahead of where we are, as we only have paint lines in the dirt and plans on the sign post for the city to check out this week.  While the papers have been filed, an inspector must come out to the lot and sign off.

We took the first pictures when the sewer pipes were being put in under the floor. 

The white piping on the right comes up under the island in the center of the kitchen and has fresh water going thru it.

 

The orange pipe below is where the fresh water comes in from the street.

The blue cables are stretched across the concrete forms and put tension on the floor slab so it won’t break.

Here the forms are complete and the concrete truck will come tomorrow.

Ready for the carpenters….

 

Once the rough in carpenters were done and cleaned up three days later, I came back and took photos of the completed stick build.  Suddenly there is a house, but things will slow up a lot from here on out.

 

Above right, is the master bedroom on the back of the house.

The picture above is the great room and dining area looking out on the smallish patio that can be seen on the picture below.

The front elevation of this house is not the one we picked but does have the garage on the right like our house will have.

Around the corner on another street is a completed home that is the elevation that we picked and the same color scheme as well.  This is a lot like what we should look like when we are done but we will have the rounded tile roof.
