I’m not kidding. The photos I just posted are already too old.

We’ve already been back, and seen there’s a second story frame and floor built, and most of the bottom story walls are “up” and in place.

It’s really not going to be much longer before this house should have a roof, white walls and paint on the thing!

Here’s a very CLOSE example of what our house SHOULD look like come March 2021, when its finished….

Sorry I wasn’t able to capture any other (real) pictures. But Darcy did. I’ll see if I can get some and place here.

Its beginning to look a lot.. like.. a house.

We visited second week into December and managed to catch a lot more signs of progress!

Given its the 17th as I post these, they’re already more than a week old.

Anxious to get over there and see the latest progress, but here’s the latest we have.

This is from entrance looking towards the back of the house at patio. Living area and Kitchen (left and right)
This is the entry/family room area where the dinner table will also be. Remember that bar from the previous house? It’ll be back. Likely along that wall behind Darcy.
Another view from the front/family room area towards the other direction.
Kitchen will be in the far back, this view is one of the two entry ways into the first floor bedroom hallway area.
This will eventually be Dad’s office. Closing my eyes, counting to 10, etc. etc. The other side of the wall is our garage. 3 cars wide.
And finally, since it was a good time for it, I was able to capture this preview of what the daily sunsets might look like from our new backyard patio.

Stay tuned.

More Progress! Better Photos!

As of my last drive-by, I could see blocks loaded onto the slab, which was a good sign!

Then, Darcy went by the house this past week and saw a lot more getting done!

They’ve laid the bricks on the foundation, you can start to see what the walls, entrance, garage and window slots are going to look like on the first level. Finally – Progress!

And this was only just as of this past Tuesday. Possibly more work being done this week. It’s been cold (at least for Florida) but not much in the way of rain or other weather deterrents. So we hope to see more progress underway!
