more framing today

the framers are really getting it done. the upstairs is almost done with framing.  they even worked during some crazy rain, yes, we actually got rain, not a lot...not a lot at all, but it started raining around 6 and is still sprinkling a little at 8, not bad considering we havent had any rain all year... or something like that.



ok, back to the house. so plumbing fixtures have been ordered because we have to get the rough in valves ready for the plumbers in the next couple of weeks. Windows should be in tomorrow, so we just have to notify Pella 24-48 hours before we want them delivered. VERY excited about that. I found the most amazing vanity for the downstairs guest bath, but it is WAY WAY over budget, so i do not think  we will be doing that, I am just going to have to do something else for the bath.

I did deposit our money on the reclaimed hardwood flooring, AND he is going to hold it for us until we are ready, which is good, because the 1900 square feet of wood, is 4 feet wide, by 15 feet long, and we do not have any room for that in the rental house. the flooring is so beautiful, it is 4-5-6-7-8 inch planks, all different sizes.




Jeremy is getting bids for the shingles, apparently those are expensive and he is not excited about that.

we are still fighting the custom millwork truss designs and brackets, custom means expensive :) ok got it.  So that project continues, any suggestions, let me know!
