Exterior Walls by kwind

Exterior Walls

An exciting day on the building front... we have walls!! The top view shows the front road entrance (garages are not up yet) and the bottom shows the view from the beach (missing a few sections).

Here's my main album shot: http://365project.org/kwind/365/2013-03-12

Wow, what an exciting stage. I have never had the pleasure to design my house from scratch... only remodeling, which is not the same.

It's taking shape! Exciting.

We are working on a small paved patio in our backyard and it looks like your house will be built faster than our patio will get done. :-)
March 13th, 2013  
Very exciting. Looks like you have a beautiful property there.
March 13th, 2013  
Awesome
March 13th, 2013  
Yay!!! It's so exciting! This part goes really fast and you think, we're really moving...then the interior slows you right down. :) It's so fun though. Enjoy it!

@anazad511 We've only ever built from scratch. I would think the Reno process would be harder.

Very exciting day!! We have built 3 different homes and when the walls go up, you really start to "see" it all come together!!
March 13th, 2013  
Wow! It's coming along quickly!

You've been an inspiration! We have a lot under contract, and our house will be listed for sale tomorrow! I'm going to meet with an architect in the next week. I was going to chose a stock plan, but our builder talked me into doing something custom. AAAHHHH! Let the madness begin!

@jodimuli Thanks, my husband and I are the general contractors. The framers are former employees of my husband. He taught them a lot of their skills and they have a similar work ethic. I think being in the business reduces our chances of being ripped off (hopefully).
March 13th, 2013  
Cool, that is very exciting :)
March 13th, 2013  
Fabulous!
March 13th, 2013

March 13th, 2013  
Eek! How exciting! keep the shots coming!
March 13th, 2013  
Awesome! It looks like things are progressing quickly. When do you expect to have it finished?
March 13th, 2013  
Looks like you're building a film set. ;)

@emrob I'm hoping we'll be in at the end of July. That would be five months but it might take another month.
March 13th, 2013  
That looks massive!!
March 13th, 2013

You are gonna love looking back on these when you have been in your house for a while.
March 14th, 2013  
WOW ~ that is going to be one huge house! ~ I am loving following the progress
March 14th, 2013  
Very exciting stage - looks huge!!
March 15th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy @alisonp @michelle58 @psychographer It's very wide so it looks big. The house will be 3100 sq. feet (not including the garages).
March 15th, 2013  
@kwind SO--our house "sold" on the third day it was listed!!! We will settle the contract on April 26th! I meet with the architect tomorrow to come up with a floor plan. We are moving right along...much faster than I had expected!
March 18th, 2013  
@cmc1200 WOW... I'm so excited for you! That was fast!! Do you have some plans picked up that you like?? Take them to the architect so they know what you want. We took 5 plans we liked and then our designer combined to make our house. I, of course, then tweaked them further. What kind of a house are you going to build?? Rancher?? Two storey??
March 18th, 2013  
Looking good how exciting
