Shingles made a world of difference!!

We went out to the house today to have some family photos taken. We waited on taking Jase's 2nd year photos until we could have them taken during the build of the home. We wanted to do the pictures after the framing process was complete. Hopefully we will have the pictures to show soon on Jase's blog. However - we have an exciting picture to show of the outside of the house!

Finally the character of the clipped roof is looking pretty cool!

Sort of an angle up photo shot - but you get the idea!

Rob's good friend, Mike, taking photos from Jase's soon to be room.

The basement is poured....we are getting there!

You can almost see the real thing!

Wonder how much gas we will spend making trips out to see the progress of the house (smile). It's amazing - we can finally see our custom decision coming together. Enjoy the latest!

We love the clipped roof. Hopefully it will have some shingles tomorrow.

However, we have a nice bike trail at the end of our yard.

Another trip to Granville to see the progress on our home. Here are the most recent pics!

We have some outside walls starting to be in place.

We love the Great room windows- they are about 8 feet tall!

The house is making more progress. Over the past couple of days - we've been able to check out what's been done on the house. Moving right along....it's finally feeling real.

Framing has begun!

Looks like we are onto our next phase of the house. The framers started working on Wednesday and we finally drove out this morning. A gentleman working said it should be under roof on Monday....how exciting to be moving forward!!
