Week 8, Day 50 - Second Floor!

So I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We sure did! A great trip to New Jersey to visit relatives! The framers came back from the Turkey Day break with a vengeance, getting the joists finished on the second story, and adding the plywood over top!






View from the front entry way!


Entrance to the Living Room, looking towards the dining room...


In my office, looking towards the kitchen


In the dining room, looking towards the kitchen... It's a testament to how well they sealed the cracks between the floor panels that there was a lot of standing water on the floor on the days it rained! Just drips here and there downstairs...


In the dining room, looking towards the living room


In the laundry, looking towards the rest of the house


The kitchen's view of the dining room


The basement, ready for the concrete floor...


Being the anal retentive type person I am, I laid out a measuring tape over all of the in-floor heating pipes and photographed them, so I know precisely where they all are...

Our "Scrapbook"

I've never been proficient at scrapbooking, but I wanted a way of capturing the building of our new home. A blog is the perfect way for two "techies" to accomplish the artistry of capturing memories.

We moved from the Midwest to the East Coast in October 2008. We found our building site in November 2008, and broke ground in October 2009.

Henceforth, The Building of Blackthorn Ridge.
