Framing...from start to finish in 3 days

So, framing started!! This is truly an exciting time. We have seen our house go from just a plot of land, to a basement, to an actual house. Because it is our house, we think it is gorgeous!! I can't believe the framing can be done so quickly, and we still have two month until the house is completely finished and we close on our new mortgage.

We signed the paperwork the last week in January 2014, and our house started getting framed Easter weekend, April 18th. Monday, April 21st, the entire house had been framed. Doors, Windows, and everything installed. It just amazes me how quick this part happened. It is surreal to see our future home standing there.

Although, I can honestly say the contractors probably think that my husband and I are stalking them. Up until this point, we were doing occasional drive-bys maybe twice a week. Since last week when we were told framing would start, we both drive up separately twice a day! Once on our lunch breaks each, and then we go up after work to check things out. 

I attend grad school so was not able to go up last night. I am super excited to go check things out tonight since they have had another full day of working on things. Our next step is our pre-drywall appointment. This is where we can take pictures to know where posts are, know where electrical wires are, and get a base idea of what the inside of our house will look like for future home improvements.

Ok, here are more pictures. Sorry to those annoyed by a million pics. I found the pictures to be the most helpful when I was researching the Ryan Homes Florence Model so thought I would keep up with the pics.
