Year 6, Day 109. “Living the Dream”. Monday, 8/17/2026, Clifty Hill 3. Framing Day 16. Roofing material arrived today.
Trying to get this house weather tight. Need to protect the lumber. Walls are now all framed. Garage walls will be framed after we get the main house closed in. Working on headers. Today I climbed back up on the deck of the home. I am super paranoid about tripping. They did put up a nice sturdy ladder to climb in. I think it was just for me. Even now the design is changing. There will be his and her closets in the master bedroom. Another window has been added to the front of the house. We think the front of the home will look much better esthetically with another window. That will give us two windows in the master bathroom. I was concerned about the price since we were given a volume discount on the original window/door order. Lowes did give the volume discount price on the window even though we had to order it separately. We also are using a taller window over the kitchen sink and it will be set up a little higher than in the Wellington. The kitchen is super exciting for me. I have always wanted a corner pantry with a frosted glass door. This kitchen is going to be awesome.
