The windows are in, the sheathing is up, and the tyvek(r) barrier is up. we made a last minute change to the clerestory window on the south facing facade of the home. we added two additional slowing windows in order to get additional light, and also view of the magnificent oak tree in the front yard. additional changes and progress this week include framing and installing the 8' windows that flank the fireplace. siding and brick are just around the corner. additionally the doors should arrive soon - and when they do we will be able to enclose the home.

the framing packs arrived yesterday, and framing began right away. the picture above are on day two of the framing around noon. with a few extra framers on site, the framing is quickly taking shape and it might all be done prior to the weekend. it is exciting to see a concept finally take shape. i thought it was cool to see the foundation last week, but seeing the actual 3D of the framing and walking through the "rooms" is definitely much more exciting. i will update with more framing pics once the main beams in the living room are installed.
