Timber!!!!!! or framing is upon us

Took the photo on the top this morning and the one on the bottom this evening--what a difference 10 hours makes!!!!

OB called me this afternoon and they are starting framing in earnest tomorrow. (I'm afraid it will be all framed by the time I get home at this rate--grin!) He has this crew for the next 2 weeks and he says they are they best bunch to work with. The lumber bill is due and I am still dealing with getting the money in the right bank. Who would think that in this electronic age that it would take 3 business days for ACH! Someone is making some $$ here but it isn't us--I just want it there already. Enough whinging!

Thanks for the comments on the doors. I was asked what the style of house was. I'd call it NW style but see for your self: http://www.architectsnw.com/plansearch/individualplansr.cfm?planno=M2645B3FT-0

We have made some changes to this plan and the exterior finishing is still being decided but it gives you some idea. The biggest exterior changes we made are getting rid of the large fake dormer and the small window on the right end of the house. Neither served a purpose and all the weather comes from the South here so the small window was a potential leak site. Inside, we decided to not have a 17 foot ceiling in the living room and instead add a study above it to catch some fantastic views of the Olympics. We also made the windows bigger to capture more of that view--thanks to SD (Second Dad) who suggested it when we were mulling over the plans--pre OB.
