Running on Empty

The good news: we've gotten this far without having to dip into the construction loan.
The bad news: we're almost out of money and still don't actually have the loan.
(Don't worry Sharon, the loan is approved.  Were just waiting on the bank lawyer to approve the approval of the building plans that is notarized by the developer's lawyer.  Crazy system.)

Lots of pics today:
Sink holes behind the house from the heavy rain.  A tall stack of plywood was propped on benches that sunk and hit Jack.  Could have been ugly.

The fate of the wood scraps.

All the scraps that have yet to burn.

Roof rafters cut and ready.
"Temp" stairs.  If I'm anything like my parents, these will be our back stairs for the next 15 years.

The balcony over the family room.

The main stairs.

Within this tangle of lumber is our bedroom and the kids' bathroom.

The attic staircase.  Not originally in the plans, but it looks awesome.  And very practical.

The view from our bedroom.

Safety first.

More sinkholes.  This one is inside the garage.

The view from the backyard.
