Pretty in Pink

The house continues to grow. The main floor has 10 foot high walls. The first picture is from the street looking in through the garage door. The access is fairly tight and there is lumber everywhere. You can't really get a sense of proportion from the pictures. The windows are fairly large so that the walls do not look so large. On the other hand, if you compare it to the house next door, we still have to build the second floor and the roof.

One thing that we are aiming for is an energy efficient house. All of the walls will be clad in 2 inches of styrofoam for better insulation. I wonder if we should be looking for sponsorships. If one of our children saw this, she would yell out "product placement."

Rain is slowing things down a bit. The framers are excited to be working on the house. It is a bit different. They are complaining that some of the beams are a bit heavy.
