Starting Construction

Starting Construction

In September we finally were able to start construction. This shows the location of the house and clearing of the site.

Framing Going Up

Framing progress

It has been a long time coming. Two and one half years since we moved to Texas to build our dream home. Many times during this period I have doubted the wisdom of starting this adventure but today there is a physical presence on our land that vindicates all the time and frustration invested.

I intend to document the process over this year. It was entirely too painful along the way. Now that construction is moving rapidly, I can barely keep up with the progress.

My biggest surprise so far is that the house is visible from far away. I did not anticipate how high the second story would rise. When we approach the house and turn onto our street, the top of the second story rises over the trees like a beacon.
