Back of House - Porch

Top photo is a view of the back of the house. The guest bedroom is the window on the left and the rest is the back porch. The bottom photo shows the back porch.

Weatherproof Structure

View of the front shows the roof is now done and the elevation has shown its face. Hard to believe, but we actually got delayed by a few heavy showers (after a month + of drought). Getting the roof on gives the green light to the electrical, plumbing and other interior construction. The windows are also installed, so it's a virtual heat box.

Long Distance View

View from the other end of Ossineke. The culvert in the foreground is our neighbors. Only 2 other lots have finished homes on our block of the street. No other lots are under construction.

Framing Almost Complete #2

This view is the side of the house. The garage is behind the dumpster and the guest bedroom is the 1st floor towards the back of the house. The Media room is above the guest room and you can see the porch roof at the very back.

Framing Almost Complete

One week after the previous photo, the profile of the house has taken shape as they finish up the framing. The construction has started to attract the few neighbors we have. We met a few of them on the trip and received plenty of compliments on the house.

Ossineke View

Although you can barely see the corner of the house on the left of the photo, it's a good view of Ossineke, the street that runs down the long side of the property.

Starting To Take Shape

Once the slab was poured, the structure went up so fast. In this picture, the 1st floor framing is done and the 2nd floor is getting started. The garage is on the right and the front door is directly behind the sign.
