Friday was a milestone in our house building endeavor.  The bank finally had all of our paperwork together and we signed the construction loan documents!

This has been a very exciting albeit frustrating process at times.  But it's amazing to look at our house now that the sub-floor is on and the framing for our covered deck is complete.

We are hoping to be completed somewhere around Christmas time.

Looking south in the *crawl* space under the house.
I can walk under it, so there isn't much crawling to do.

The lighter colored wood is 3/4" plywood that will support our deck, which will be poured concrete.

When there isn't so much smoke, you can see town and the river,
