They're finally framing!!!

 Bridger's standing in front of his bedroom window!

 On November 22, the framers finally showed up to begin our house.  We had to wait a few weeks while they finished up the house they were working on so there was a delay.  We were getting really frustrated because Chris would say "Colby is coming for sure on Friday."  But then Friday would come and go.  Then the next week, Chris would say "Colby is coming for sure on Wednesday."  So we played that game for three weeks.  I would have handled it better if they would have told us, "Colby is a month out."  But instead we got strung along but I guess that's the construction game.  We've had a beautiful fall so it's been frustrating to see our house just sitting and wasting the good weather. We were hoping to have our house framed by now.  Matt and I got really frustrated and looked into having Mike frame our house.  But by the time Mike would have been able to clear his schedule it would have been the same time that Colby would finally be available.  It all worked out in the end because Colby and his crew have been wonderful!!!  I'm so glad we waited for them.  He's very thorough and they're doing a great job on the framing.

 It took them a couple of weeks to frame the basement.  It's been so exciting to see the walls of the house and the actual dimensions of the house!! Chase and Bridger have been so excited to see where their rooms are going to be.

 I LOVE the big windows in my house.  They're not done framing the family room windows so they won't be this big.  But I'll have a nice big sliding door out of the basement.

This is the basement family room, looking from the kitchenette.  It's going to be a nice big room!

This is our open theater room, just off of the family room/kitchenette.  

 This is our sports court.  We're so excited about the sports court!!  It's going to be so nice to have a space for the boys to run around in and practice their basketball no matter what the weather it.  This the overlook from the upstairs.  We based in off of Layne and Tiff's house.

 On December 1st, they started the upstairs floor.

 On December 6th, they started framing the upstairs!! I didn't realize the windows were going to be so big but I love them!!! The weather has finally turned really cold and it's officially winter because it snowed!

 My favorite room in the house is the family room and kitchen.  I love the big windows!  I have the most beautiful view!  It's a little piece of heaven!

The first picture is our mud room, right as you walk in from the garage.  Then the laundry room is behind it.

 This is a view from the family room, looking back towards the front entrance.  The den will be on the left and then the formal sitting room is on the right.

This is the back view of the sports court.  It was a very difficult wall to put up!
