Framing (title creativity? no)

Day to day

We are moving a long at a fair clip, and I expect daily or nearly daily updates, so don't bore yourself with them if you don't want. Some work on the house yesterday, not as dramatic, but hey it was virtual monday. The framing on the basement is coming together, I imagine the first floor will be on by end of day, but that is just a guess.

Framing Starts 2

Here is the full set from Saterday, if you look behind our house you will see our house....
Which is to say the model in the background of some of the pictures is the same model. Erin and I have been inside a few times, just to get a feel for the model. Some surprises, some rooms "feel bigger" and some rooms "feel smaller" then we expected.

Will just have to wait and see... (drywall changes everything as well, perspective wise.)

Framing Starts

Eeeeeeee, framing has started, I'm as giddy as well me at Lee Valley:



I will probably go back tomorrow and get some better picutres in the daylight, but its good.

More stuff piling up

These are from Thursday, Eri zoomed the house and found a number of more things have been piled high on the site

House on a Truck

Well my house "arrived" today, it may or may not have been around the construction site for a couple days, but today it arrived at well at my house?

Here you can clearly see our unit number:



Here is the whole thing:


And here are some random steel beams just for fun


We are expecting construction to start tomorrow or the next day.

Calm before the storm

The timbers gather like storm clouds on the horizon, all is still, giving lie to the flurry of activity that will commence in the coming days.




Okay, no more bad poetry... Just nothing really happening at the site, other then building materials gathering. My next door neighbours home is in full swing, they have more or less finished the first floor in under two days. If nothing happens on my lot before the weekend I might go into theirs, (shhhh don't tell.)

In other news I was back in Toronto for the first time in almost a month, but I didn't get to my desk other then to drop off my coat and pick it up. We are in all day meetings, big ones, with important people, and stern faces.

Dinner soon, then sleep.

Framing started (sort of)

So framing has started on my neighbours house, but not mine yet. I did see one steel I-Beam with my lot number on it :)

So hopefully stuff starts showing up in a day or two.

House Sold

This post is actually about a week old, but I lost my camera and then got confused.

Found the camera, but it is still to dark to take a snap shot of the snazzy new "Sold" sign on our lawn. We had two chaotic days of open house, followed by a week of nail biting while we waited for the deal to become firm, but now we can say for sure, our house is sold.

Now we are just waiting until May, our new house is growing, while we pack up our old one. Especially after cleaning, this place reminded me what we liked so much about it, but I even with that little wistful hint I still can't wait to get into the new one!

Anyways, that's the update, house sold, woot!

Loved this one image, so I thought I would post it directly, but the whole gallery is attached as well:
