Framing is done

Apologies for the long delay in posting; life has been hectic. There hasn't been a whole lot to report: framing has continued apace, and it's been delightful to see the house coming together. You can see a bunch of progress photos in our Picasa album. Framing is more or less finished, and the roof is on, so the house has started to dry out, and become much more pleasant to be in. We went with a slightly less attractive roofing material than we'd hoped, but it turns out to be nearly impossible to see the roof from anyplace we're likely to be, so it's not much of a problem.

In commemoration of the completion of framing, I shot a quick video tour so you can see how it fits together:

The one thing I don't think I really captured in the video is the spaciousness of the house, the way you can stand in the dining room and see all the way up to the peak of the roof above the loft. Spaciousness was a top priority when we were designing the house, and I think it's really paid off.

Wow I love it! Especially the great room. You must be very excited about actually moving in. Look forward to seeing to for real in June.
