Framing has begun

So apparently framing the house (building the timber frame) takes about 10 days.  As you can see it has begun, so in about a week there will be a basic house built.  Thats gonna be a huge milestone.

Starting to take shape.  They have framed most of the lower right hand side of the house.  The front right room is the study/office.

Here is the view from the left, taken from the two car garage.  You can see the wall, laying on the floor ready to be hoisted up into place.

This is taken from the back center of the house.  At the front is the study then behind that is the Master Suite.

This is a window at the back of the Master Bedroom.  Again, nice that there is no other house back there.

This is along the back of the house.  The first bit that juts out is the where the fireplace in the Family room will be.  The second larger part jutting out is the breakfast nook.  From where I took the picture to the near edge of the breakfast nook will be the screened porch.

Down under.  This is the crawl space under the house.  Apparently people use it for storage of  durable items but I don't plan on spending any time down here.

And here's the whole thing (again from the neighbors attic).  On the framed part there is the study (on the right) and master bedroom (on the left).  Between them is the master bathroom (middle left) and a walk in closet (middle right).
