Wow! Our house really looks different with a deck! Haa Haa! That is for all the clowns that have been sending us "Redneck Hi-Rise" e-mails...
(I took this picture on a trip to Texas...)
Ok, back to reality... Stu climbed up to the apartment this morning and took some pictures. I climbed up too, very slowly and carefully! It's really, really high and I'm not real crazy about ladders or heights...
This will be our front door going into the kitchen.
The crew started framing the fireplace yesterday.
They didn't quite finish the roof yesterday, this is the courtyard taken from the lower backyard.
They got the vapor barrier applied to the outside sheathing.
Now we are waiting for the door, windows and siding to be installed.
The apartment and garage take shape.
This is how we left the house this afternoon...
After dinner we couldn't take it anymore and had to go back to the house to see how much they were able to get done. We heard the thunder off in the distance, but we figured we either could get ahead of it or it wouldn't even rain out there... We were wrong on both accounts!
No rain yet...The garage is almost done.
This is the side of the garage and apartment.
The fireplace is covered in the vapor barrier as well.
This is looking from the fireplace to the kitchen... We'll have a 12 foot ceiling in the living room and 9 foot throughout the rest of the house.
And the rain started just before we left... and did it ever!! It was really coming down! Hope our house is still there in the morning!!
