We Have Walls!

So, after being pushed back on the builders "list" we had to wait what seemed like FOREVER for framing to start.

(I couldn't help myself)

On May 7th, we were told our lumber would be delivered on Monday, the 9th and the framers would get to work! Again, I was giddy to finally see some progress!

On Sunday night we sat down to look at the forecast and this is what the week had in store for us!!!

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

On Tuesday, the rain held off for most of the day and when we went to the site we were able to see some progress:

The decking was almost complete and they had the two garage walls erected. I prayed a hedge of protection around the house due to the impending straight line winds. I assume you know what those are...tornado strength winds...go figure!

Wednesday was a glorious day! The sun was shining and I couldn't wait to see what kind of progress they had made. It was so exciting to drive down our demolished driveway to see this sight

Once we were closer it came into view...

And then, the angels sang :)

Here is Kyle standing in the kitchen. At this point, the kids were sitting in the garage because I was terrified they were going to fall down that hole you see that leads to the basement, or indoor pool. We're hoping to see the interior walls up tonight. I think Kyle would bring a sleeping bag out to sleep here if we weren't  going to get another torrential downpour for the next two days.
