Welcome back!  Last week we took a look at the first floor, in the first of our 3 part house tour series.  This week, we're checking out the basement.  Just like last time, I put together an Image Location Plan to keep you oriented as we look at the pics.

Pop on over for a peek inside - 1 of 3

9/10/2016

 
Picture
We've been focused on the outside of the house here on the blog for a bit, so it's been a while since we last took a look inside.  I think it's time to change that.  The framing is done.  The windows and doors are in.  Plumbing, electric, HVAC all done.  Drywall is up.  We're doing a 3 part house tour series.  Today, let's take a look at the first floor.

Does your house have a logo?

Picture
Every design starts with an idea; a little inkling of what might one day become something. In architecture school I was taught that these little ideas should be generated quickly, jotted down, and set to the side so more ideas are free to come.  In the architecture world, these sketches are called Parti Diagrams - I think it's much more relatable to call them what they really are - Logos.

Tiiiiiiin Roof, Rusted

7/23/2016

 
Picture
OK, so it isn't tin and it's not rusted...but it will be metal.  All the way back when all we had were some concrete forms, we talked about how we're building a modern farmhouse.  And no self respecting farmhouse - modern or otherwise - would be caught dead without a proper metal roof.

Picture
We have a door!  Look at that beautiful beast.  It's nearly the size of a sheet of plywood (that's 4ft x 8ft), and much to our builder's dismay - weighs around 800 pounds.  Here's how it looks installed:
