April 23, 2009: More Work on Main Level

A bit more got done on the main level on this day, basically raised the exterior walls around the great room, kitchen, dining room, and main-floor bedroom and some of the interior walls. Again this was as night was falling (to try and stay out of their way) so some of the picture quality is not so great.

View from the road.

Preethi, at the front of the house. The Tyveked areas is the dining room and main floor bathroom. To the left is the main floor bedroom.

Looking at the rear (South side) of the great room (top) and den (bottom). Note that we lined up the French doors, though window sizes vary across levels.

Here's a view of the South side of the garage.

Preethi walks through the garage towards the entrance to the main floor hallway. It's not a real big hallway, basically just there to provide access to the main floor bathroom without going through the main floor bedroom.

Preethi stands in the kitchen. There are several largish spans in the house and here you can see the large opening between the kitchen and the great room.

A span from the entrance foyer to the East wall of the great room. There will eventually be a column supporting it about 2/3 of the way down.

This is looking North from the great room. We think there will be a pretty good view of the ridge from here, though we might have to knock down that scrubby tree (the second tree from the right edge of the window).

If you look closely you can see some of the red chalkings that will be used to guide the framing tomorrow.

View from the tree on the Northeast corner of the lot.

Preethi peers through the Tyvek in the dining room.
