3 Comments

The last few weeks of construction have been so much fun to watch. This post was a blast to make since it includes a time-lapse video of the framing process, from bare ground to a fully framed house!

Before I get to the video, here are few pictures of the process:

View of the house from our neighbor’s home. Framing is pretty much done…still need a cupola, front porch, rear porches, and decks but you can see the full shape of the house now

Now for the video…please let me know if you enjoyed this video.  Haven did most of the editing and the background music is dedicated to my father-in-law (Pe-pa)…nevermind, had to change the background music because Flight of the Bumblebee is still copyright protected:
