June 11, 2009: More Bricks and Drywall

On Thursday, ALOT of drywall was hung and the bricks started to look close to being done.

View of the front of the house. They think they'll be done with the bricks on Saturday if there's no rain.

View of the house from the Northeast corner of the lot. The unbricked side gable will have a vent installed tomorrow morning and then bricks will continue on up.

View of the garage (east) side of the house - all done with the bricks.


Closer view of the northeast corner. Here, you can see where the jack arches over the windows are slid out a little bit (5/8") from the wall

With the scaffolding down, you can see the full soldier course over the top of the garage.

All of the drywall is now hung in the main level bedroom.

And in the main level bath.

And in the great room - including the fireplace.

Still looking at the greatroom, but now back towards the dining room. I really love this view simply because I've never lived in a house with a 55' long sight line (corner of great room 20x30 to corner of dining room 14x14). Hopefully when the decorative column is added, the effect won't be lost.

The fireplace.

View of the stairwell on the second level.

Viewing the second level near the stairwell and looking towards the master bedroom. The large hole is the whole house fan.

Preethi stands on the front slab. Tomorrow brick arches should start going up on the slab to frame the entrance.
