Taking Shape

We have a roof! Well, sort of. Almost.

The below photos show the progress Tim and Co. have made framing the roof and overhangs. It is amazing how the form of the building is slowly emerging. Next up, the excavator will be back on sight to back-fill and grade the property. In the meantime, Big Valley Builders will start framing the few interior walls.

We are looking forward to getting out there for our first proper walk-through!

Framing Continues

The weather in the Valley has been great, which means that Big Valley Builder's is making excellent progress. The majority of the framing materials are on-site and there is a real push to get the roof on. Below are a few images of the recent framing work. We can't wait to get out there!

The first photo is of the master bedroom looking west towards the mountains.

This is a shot looking across the long expanse of window from the kitchen to the living room.

There is still a bit of snow on the west portion of the property.

This is a shot looking from the north.

A crane was needed to move the large trusses into place.

This truss alone is more than 18' long and spans the width of the house from the entrance to the large bank of windows on the west side of the building. You can see the framing for the future front door.



Back to Work!

After a long winter and a late snowfall, Big Valley Builders is back to work!  As you can see from the below photo of our driveway, the Valley was hit by a number of storms in late February and early March. We were in the Valley for a long weekend in late February and thought work would begin before March...apparently not. 

However, warmer temperatures have brought a ton of work. Tim and company were able to start back to work mid-March and real progress is being made. Framing is underway and the house is starting to take form.
