Progress!

Someday I'll tell the story of heartache and pain we've gone through to build this house. I'll fill you in on the insane process of closing on this piece of land, the 3 times we thought we were not going to get the building loan (after we owned the land), and the absurd ways we've had to fight with the bank to use the money from that loan (not to mention the 22 weeks it took to get a permit and the tons of rock we removed from the earth). But, today I'm just going to bask in the glory of framing.

The sweet smell of fresh 2x4s.

Sitting in the windows.

Playing in the stairwell.

Dancing in Grammie's room.

Oh yes, for all of the difficulty, this is really fun. I love that our design and building team is genuinely excited about this project and that the story of our family living in this house is going to be amazing.
