So with the new windows it went from the one on the left to the one on the right.  Creative landscaping with offset the window changes on the front of the home.

I met with the builder at the site as he wanted to point out that the view from the large window in the living room and in the sunroom both facing the street was not the greatest for privacy and most likely any window treatment would be closed a majority of the time.  He suggested that we eliminate the lower large portion of the windows and keep the transoms on top.  It was a great idea so we made the changes to the plan.

In addition to the flooring on the main level they also were able to get some of the wall sheathing on the lower level.

Some of the rough framing on the lower walkout level was completed.  They are still waiting for the excavation crew to come out and backfill the garage and around the basement walls.

There was a break in the weather so they were able to install the floor joists and main floor decking.

More progress on the build.  You can see that the framing is complete on the walkout lower level with the beginning of the floor trusses.  Hopefully the weather up here will hold out so that they can keep on going.

This image was taken from a parking lot overlooking the build.  It was the best I could do to capture the framing crew just getting started on the rough build out.  Not much done, but it’s a start none the less. Yea!

Mid January and they are delivered the roof and floor trusses along with the lumber for the walls (covered in plastic) and they are supposed to start framing next week.  I’m glad that I’m not one of those guys that will be building in this weather.

Shortly after setting the walls they poured the concrete floor for the lower level.
