Framing - Part 1


Mia and Justine would like to welcome to you on the our latest blog entry.  This entry will show how our house is being framed. Framing is the process to create the shell of a house.  It involves creating the floors, exterior and interior walls as well as the roof.  


When we last left our house a while ago our builder had completed the foundation.  The next step involved the creation of the ceiling for the basement/main floor for the house.



 From the basement one can see the beams across the top that would soon be covered by boards and voila you have a first floor.



After the floor was created the framers started to create the interior and exterior walls of the house.  Now in 3-D the Wendling family can see the various rooms in their house and can see the sizes of windows, closets, door ways.


As well, we can see the deck, mud room and our walkout from the basement to the backyard.


As well, from the angle below we can see the garage, which will soon be framed and how it connects to the main house.


In this angle we can see the bathroom and front den - which currently appear to be one room - but this soon will quickly change.


The picture below shows the Master bedroom and the extremely large window.  When designed the house the Wendling's decided that they wanted as much natural light as possible.  So big windows are everywhere in the house.


In fact the largest window is found at the back of the common room and give a panoramic view of the backyard.  Since it is a westward facing window the Wendling's hope that there will be many beautiful sunsets to take in.


Next comes the kitchen and in the back of the photo you can quite see our mudroom/locker room.  


Well that's it for this blog.  We hope that you are enjoying watching our new home taking shape.  Keep watching us...as I know Kyara will keep on watching you!!
