Not much changed since last week.
I was itching to climb that ladder up into that third floor window, but YBW was not having it.
He wants me to be safe, not reckless.
He has a point…especially since Baby K was eyeballing that ladder too.

It rained/snowed Saturday night so there was a puddle in the house Sunday morning.
Just right for a bit of splashing.

She took her hat off because it was getting in her eyes. Of course then her hair was all staticky and she was trying to keep it out of her face. She loved that splashing though!

In the space between the front door and the garage door is written important construction information.

120 is our lot number.
Rear deck will be off the living room.
Elite option means we’re an end unit.
Rooftop terrace 2 means there will be a small front porch on the fourth floor.
Additional bath is pretty self explanatory…a powder room becomes a full bath on the ground floor.
12 foot stacking door is a giant telescoping door in the living room onto the rear deck.

Feeling excited!

It was sunny but cold this Sunday morning.
Thing 1 and Baby K came with us, but I think they wish they stayed home.
The wind was brutal.

Our house has a lid now. I say lid because it’s not really a roof just yet…
Standing in that same spot in the garage under where the stairs will be.
To stand there and look up borders on overwhelming. I mean, I know it’s a four level townhouse, but good Lord, it’s tall!

It’s been dry for a while so we were able to go around to the back of the house this week.
That’s the beginnings of a roof deck up there at the top and I couldn’t be more excited!

Thanks for being on this journey with us, y’all!

Fourth floor loft and roof deck level is up!

It was cold and rainy on our first visit in the new year.
YBW and I went alone.
It was muddy as hell so we didn’t go around to the back of the house.

I took this pic standing in that same spot in the garage where the stairs will be.

To the right:
second floor living room
third floor main bedroom
fourth floor out to the roof deck

To the left:
second floor pantry powder room and dining room (kitchen is in the middle of the house)
third floor two guest bedrooms (full bath and laundry room are in the middle of the house)
fourth floor powder room and loft space and small front roof deck

Sometimes I can hardly believe it’s real!

Third floor is up!
We have a bedroom level now.

It was in the twenties Sunday morning. Damn cold even bundled up.
Baby K and her parents joined us, but after a bit of trying to break the ice over the puddles, she got too cold and they went to wait in the car.

This is from that same spot in the garage that will eventually be under the stairs. I’m shooting towards the back of the house this time. That open space on the third level will be our bedroom.

I’ve not yet shared the back of the house, and I couldn’t back up any more without falling down the hill, so this is as much as you’ll be able to see.

On the ground level you can see what will be YBW’s office space. French door on the left and double window on the right.
Above that, the telescopic sliding door in the living room that will lead to an open deck.
On the third floor, the windows on the left are in our bedroom, the high window on the right is above the double vanity in our bathroom.
