TWIHB- this week in house building....

lots of regular boring stuff going on at the house.  moving forward which is AWESOME! insulation got put in today, HUGE timber beam will be put in on Friday, hopefully inspection on Friday, if not Monday then sheetrock can start!  below are pics of the smaller of the two timber beams that will be in the large open concept downstairs floorplan.




EXCITING news is that brick will start going on the outside of the house on Thursday which I cannot wait to see how it looks. brick is really hard to pick out but the guys and Damian at South Texas Brick were awesome, really helpful and I know it is going to look really cool, plus it is vintage brick from Chicago, where Jeremy is from, so that is really kind of fun.

if you get a chance, like my builders facebook page so you can see his take on our house and other projects he is working on, www.facebook.com/alleanzacustomhomes

on a side note, i would like to thank the city inspector for having me vacuum the fireplace to get sawdust off of it, from below it and above it, super fun. thanks city!
