Definately looking like a house...

See if you can spot the guy working on the house

Big pile of trash

Hall, shot taken from the front door.  Dining room to the left/office to the right

My office

Ingenious devise for ascending to the upper story.

Master Bedroom

Master bed looking to the master bath.  Walk in closet behind that.  Office behind that...

Vaulted roof in master bath

Screened porch

Kitchen with bar

Family room fire.

Breakfast nook

2 car garage

Play room.  There is still another wind to go in here.

Progress on the upstairs

OK, I'm late but I've been busy.  These photos are about a week old, I'll take more today and update the blog again soon.  I realized that I didn't take may pic's when I visited the hose last weekend so I've filled in a few from the grounds of Duke University.

No roof yet but upstairs mostly framed

Unfortunately these net shots are NOT the back garden.  They are from a visit we took to the grounds of Duke University.  Its absolutely gorgeous!

Latest Pics. Downstairs mostly framed. Upstairs started.

Our house.  In the middle of our Cul de sac

Family Room.  Fireplace in the middle.  Windows on either side.  Entry through to Breakfast nook/Kitchen on the left.

Back side of the Master Bedroom.

Family room, looking toward the front.

3rd car garage.

Woodwork. For you construction geeks out there.

And more.

Front door.

Step up to porch.

The whole enchilada.  Framed on the upper story are the Rec room and two bed rooms.

View of the house from the back.

Again from the back

Starting to frame the lower level

These were taken through the week.  Its progressed since then, I'll upload todays photos sometime tomorrow.

Front of the house.  Nice that there is only one step up to the porch.

This will be the kitchen (right) and Breakfast Nook (left).  Past this room is the Family room.

Breakfast Nook.  Note the 3 windows along the back.

This will be the Master Bedroom.

The Keeping Room.  there will be a fireplace in the back right corner of this room.  A Keeping Room is a Southern thing.  I believe its like a cross between a Living and Sitting room.  It must have a fire, its a little more formal than a Living room but still a room you can use everyday.

Family Room, looking toward the front.

Fireplace at the back of the Family room.

Pool & Play Park

In these uncertain times may people have been burned by putting down big deposits only to watch the builder go under (with their deposit).  The single biggest thing a builder can do to inspire confidence is (apparently) building the pool ahead of time.

And so we have a nice new pool/club house and play park at Bella Casa.  Some pics for your viewing pleasure.
