The weeks have flown by at lightning speed, and when I stop and let myself take the time to think about it, I am ecstatic at all that has been accomplished. Every day that I come home from work, or running errands in town, I'm blown away by the addition of a wall (or walls) and beams that show the character of our home coming to life. Tanner has designed our home, and it will be a beauty.
Our rain came, as promised, and once I was successful on a quest to find the worlds largest tarp to cover the house, we were in business to continue framing in the house between rain showers.

Jerry and Charlie, with front 2nd floor wall, built and ready to raise. Cooper, napping in the middle of all the action.

Getting started with beams indoors, safe from rain under said giant tarp.

| Center beams-so pretty! |
As our home becomes so clearly visible as it takes shape off of the pages of Tanner's design plans, we are so excited to live out our lives here. The sun sets in the evening, earlier and earlier in November, and as much as we enjoy it now, we look forward to many others from the freshly-cut windows in our home.
