Progress!

The house getting built next to ours has been making moves over the last two weeks, while our house has become rather stagnant. Today, however, I did by daily drive-by after work to find... walls!!!

Glorious, wonderful, day - our framing has begun! It's amazing how much wood boards can excite me, but it's just great seeing the rooms start to take shape, where our windows will be, etc. It feels real, and it feels wonderful. We're hoping to meet with the builder at the end of the week to pick out all our stuff, but no set appointment, so I have a feeling it will get pushed back til next week.

We live close by, so we've been aiming to take a picture of the house almost everyday. At the end, the idea is to make a giant collage. I know everyday might seem like overkill, but we think it will be neat at the end to see periods where not much changed, and periods where huge changes happened day by day.

In the meantime, here's a few photos from the say we signed the papers, up until today. The first few are from the last 3 weeks. You'll notice not much change to our pile of cinder blocks and wood, but take a look at the house next to us and their garage.

And then came today. Look at those WALLS!
