This may end up being an incomplete post only because I did not get the chance to take all the photos I wanted to take today. Our framers are frantically working to get us "dried-in" (meaning all framed with a roof on) before winter really hits. Our basement is totally framed now, (pictures to follow soon), and they laid the floor joists today amidst frigid temperatures and soggy wood. Our framing contractor Randy is the greatest guy...so flexible to last minute changes, and has even come up with some neat solutions to unforeseen problems. (Not to mention, meticulous). He is dead-on with the measurements of our rooms (which we've measured ourselves to make sure) and every wall is perfectly plum. It's nice to see someone take such pride in their work. Sorry... straight walls just make me so happy!
Still not a whole lot to see from this angle, but the floor joists are down and ready for a floor.
We are supposed to be getting the back porch, basement steps and driveway this week as well.
The park in front of our house is sure coming along nicely. The sidewalks are poured, the gazebo is being built, and the playground will be going in soon. Also, it's fun to see some snowy peaks...as long as it stays on the peaks and not in my house. (Crossing fingers the weather will hold!)

We will have to come up and take a look. It is coming right along. I hope they will get you dried in in time, winter is coming quick.
Ya know what? In spite of the Mecham's "too tall" house, you have a spectacular view! I am very jealous, and of course VERY happy for you guys. I, too, hope the weather will cooperate for you and I am glad to hear you have such a stellar framing team!
