Starting to Look Like a House!

Construction of our new house is in full swing! All of the exterior walls went up and then they got covered with plywood:

The living room windows (with transom windows above)...this area will be vaulted with exposed timbers:

The trusses went on next. I was hoping to get a picture of the crane lifting them on, but I arrived just as they finished:

They then fully enclosed the house, except for the entry/living room which will be covered with custom made trusses and rafters. The garage side:
You can kinda see the area to be timber framed below...right now it looks like a house with a huge skylight in the middle! This is the back side of the house:
Joe up in the attic area above the garage:
Maya peaking out of a window on the bedroom side:

Maya crawling on the huge ridge beams that will go in this week:

The drilling rig came last Thursday and they will start drilling the well tomorrow. We budgeted for 300 feet, so let's hope they don't have to go any deeper! :)

It's starting to become real now and we're getting even more excited. We're hoping to be in sometime in September...fingers crossed.
