Framed walls

The back of the house
Chuck is standing in the kitchen windows

I'm looking into the sun room






Yesterday morning we spent a couple of hours, walking around on the floor of the house, trying to figure out where the AC air handler was going to go. We put it in one closet and then another but the closet that would be the best place for it, wasn't big enough without making the bathroom and Chuck's closet 5 1/2 inches smaller. It seemed like we were moving this and that and it was getting really confusing just to get put the AC in the closet....soooooo......we decided to just put it in the attic. Chuck really didn't want it up there in case it leaked but we decided it would be OK. It's better than moving the rooms around. Then, there is this one angled wall in the hallway and the way they had it chalked on the floor, it looked really short to me. Sure enough, I called G & G and had them measure that wall in their house and theirs was 9 inches longer. Troy and I figured out how to move the cabinets in the kitchen ( like they are in G & G's house) and that made the angled wall at least 6 inches longer. After we figured out all that, Chuck and I headed to town to pick out the bath tub, sinks, toilets, faucets, inside doors, door handles, hinges and we ordered the front door. When we had left, they were just starting to build the frames to the walls. When we came home, after going to four different places, including the grocery store, they had all the wall frames up but a couple in the middle of the house. We pulled up and I hollered...."wow! we have a house!" lol. They will come back today and finish the walls and I think they are going to do the two porches next.....then the roof will be next week!
