Framing of the Addition....Check.

We've reached an important milestone - the framing of the new addition is now complete!  With a few adjustments along the way, the windows are in (except for one that was delivered damaged), the roof is on, and the rooms are fully framed.  Here's a shot of the rear of the home with the full addition - french doors and columns will be added to the first and second story porches after the drywall is in. 

Here's a few close-up shots of the addition since the equipment is blocking the full view above, starting with the kitchen bay (left side of home) with laundry/half bath to the far left and master bath on the second floor.

The next few weeks will be focused on the original structure - re-framing, leveling, and reinforcing the remaining interior walls, ceilings, floors, and fireplaces prior to all the mechanical rough-ins. 

And here's a final shot of the front of the home at this stage:

Although the front door is not installed (that installation will also have to wait after the drywall is in to avoid damaging the door) it was delivered and it's even more beautiful than we hoped. 

Because of the glare in the shot above, the red glass is not apparent, but it's really neat.  The door is primed and will eventually be painted - once we've had the great paint color debate...coming soon.
