This is going to be a busy, busy week. There were about 8 men at the job site today!
The windows should get delivered today and will be installed over the next 2 days. We are so excited about how large the windows will be, although apparently they will require a special contraption to hoist them up.
The roof, fascia and gutters will be completed this week. Our funky, angular soffits still won't be designed until the siding team gets started.
Our first inspection was completed today... and so the new foundation for the entryway should be poured tomorrow. The framing of the entryway will happen on Wednesday. This is when the exterior of the house will really take shape. There will be another extended soffit over the entryway as well.
There are temporary stairs up to the second floor now so we can go upstairs and walk around. Now I can finally get up there and determine if our hallway is too small... although nothing I can do about at this point. If it feels too small or narrow, we may have to consider a special wallpaper or design idea (maybe different lighting?) that will make the space feel larger and more open.
It seems like the perfect time for a trip to Tucson - with low 80s and gorgeous views - so we're off. Hoping to finally spot the (mythical?) javelinas (also known as a skunk pig). My dad says, they are so ugly that they are cute. But anything with the nickname "skunk pig" can't have much going for it.
Build house, drink margaritas. And as Quinn says, "Can we have some of that green stuff?" (AKA guacamole)
