Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 04, 2008 2:28 pm Yesterday was a very special day for us.
Finally the frame is up on our custom home and we can see the translation between what we dreamed down onto paper and the reality of the design in person. We are both very happy. In the link below are our progress pics over the past couple of weeks. Ground floor progress pics from two weeks ago and the full ground and first floor frame pics from yesterday.

Have you dropped the celing in the theatre room in a V ( sort of) shape? Looks nice. Is that for the projector? Have lots of fun building. Raz If you think you can, you can.
