Apparently, as the mildly disgruntled workers explained, it could be done with a fork lift but there wasn't one to be had! I wish I had pix. Though they made it look easy, it was a lot of trips. I'm getting used to the size of the downstairs rooms, but from the ground level looking up the bedrooms look REALLY small. They aren't -- the master is 14 x 15 1/2 and Conor's is nearly as big, but the perspective is way off. The master
basicallly fits in the box in the middle of the house. The master bath and closet are to the right and Conor's closet is just to the left.However, unless I take up pole vault it will be awhile before I get upstairs since this is what our stairs currently look like. Conor had to explain to me that that's what they were -- I am spatially challenged!
The trusses are up on the garages. When we
first looked at the plans, we thought it looked like we were building a roof with a little house below it instead of vice versa. But now that it's in 3D it's all very proportionate and the roof line doesn't seem nearly so overwhelming. The patio will probably end right around where the pile of junk starts!Here's the north side of the house. The library window is covered up, they'll cut it out tomorrow. I gather it is easy to put up full
sheets of plywood and then cut out the opening rather than cut first and try to line it up. The opening above is Conor's window -- he'd have preferred a lake view but we tell him that life is full of little disappointments! Behind his room is the hall bath, but it does not have a window.This is the south side of the house, You can tell where the 3 windows are by the headers at the top. The front window is the
shower/toilet part of the master bathroom. The middle header is the guest room window and the back one is the stairwell landing.When we get under roof upstairs, I'll post some more pix. Thanks for checking in.
