Stucco & Stone

The Stucco is almost complete. Depending on the light, it's an off white with some yellow tint. In this photo, you can also see the stone installed at the front of the house. We decided to use the back mortar installation which means that no mortar is placed between the stone...they are placed directly together.

Inside Photos

A couple of photos from inside the house. One of the Pex plumbing hub - I'm sure the plumbers love running this tubing rather than copper. Next picture is from the garage door looking toward the door into the house. You can see that some of the dry wall is up and the foam insulation in the ceiling. Final photo is the looking at the insulation in the dining room. You can see the part of the window as well.

The dry wall is almost completely done, and they're working on the stucco as well. Next step is the wall textures and cabinetry.

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.
