Just 8 days after our last visit to the lot, we now have walls and the bottom 2 floors are framed up completely. They haven't framed our 2nd story where the bedrooms will be but we were shocked to pull up to this on Monday night:

We were so excited as we walked through the entire first floor...well, Brian headed straight for the basement first. Finally we are able to visualize where things are going to be and we couldn't be more stoked about it! Here's Brian on the landing that heads downstairs to the basement.
 |
| The stairs to the 2nd story will be above these stairs and that will be a big picture window behind where Brian is standing. |
And here's me by the fireplace in the main living room. Gorgeous, right?! The plywood look is really in right now! ;-)
 |
| There will be two windows on both sides of the fireplace. You can see they need to cut those out yet but they are framed in. |
We also stopped by our friends/neighbors Josh and Brooke's new house on Monday night. They bought a really gorgeous place and are loving it and the neighborhood. Made me quite jealous they are all moved in and didn't have to deal with the 2 move scenario that we have. Oh well...it will all be worth it, I suppose. We are so excited to have them a stones throw away from us and are already planning who's house we will watch the Iowa away games at. I'm guessing they will get majority of those games this fall!
Here are just a few other photos I took of the framed up house.

It's been hot, hot, hot so I'm sure these contractors are working their hineys off and not really digging the heat but we sure do appreciate their extra effort. Let's get this baby closed up so they can work without being weather dependent! Can't wait to see their progress in another couple of days! Stay tuned...XOXO - j
