Hello all, it has been a while since my last post and I have many photos from which to choose. Steve and team have made HUGE progress since the last post. Bob and I visit at least weekly and we have been startled by how fast the house is coming together. As of yesterday, the septic tank and drain field have been "planted", the basement has been framed courtesy of Steve and son, the floor of the main level is just about complete.
Here are some photos showing the basement and the progress to date.
Our first "visitors" were James and Julian Hyatt, our cousins from Portland. The huge machine was squirting cement into place for the basement floor.
The 2x4s are framing the basement, and the "siting" for the placement of the house couldn't have been more perfect--check out that view!
The SIPs (structural insulated panels) should be delivered this week. That will make up the exterior walls of the house. To be continued.....
Spring break at your house!!!
ReplyDeletePLEASE READ WITH A BIG CHUCKLE!
ReplyDeleteBill and I would love to come visit with you and meet Bob (Sincerely!). Chuckle begins here: When your home is completed, what "room rate per night" would you charge? Would our stay include complimentary breakfast or is that an extra charge? How often would the towels be replaced with fresh ones? Is there a pool on the premises? Are spa services included? Are courtesy shuttles available for tours of the city? What about "happy hour" drinks? MOST IMPORTANTLY, ARE PETS ALLOWED??? What other amenities do you provide? ******** We are very happy for you that things are on schedule and going the way you want them to. Stay in touch and keep us posted on the progress. MUCH LOVE, Mary Ann & Bill
Wow! Progress is the word. Impressive site, to say the least. Keep us posted. Also, we'll be interested in your answers to Mary Ann's questions :).

Nice! And that is Mt Hood in the background? The configuration, where the front (along the road?) may be a single story that slopes to a deeper house in the back is somewhat like the house Bob grew up in,
