The Sub roofing and spaces


This originally was drawn by Wolf with just trusses in it,
but Robert said we may as well have it for closet space, YEAH ROBERT!


I may have put this in but it is just sub flooring to stand on the deck to work off!


So this shows the holes dug for the footings and the first half of the house with the roof sheeting on


This shows how high the vaulted ceiling is to accomodate a stained glass window we are putting in!


See how this side of the house is starting to come together!

Footings for the 2nd half of the house!


So these should be big footings to hold 2 stories, the upper 
being the garage level


I guess this shows that in fact. we have a drainage pipe
for all the sewer lines!!


Working out all those holes for the footings!!

Really not sure!  Part of the footings!!  Will find out!

Putting the room on top of the screened in porch!


So now they are adding the closet room on top of  the screened in porch!


The angle from Marty's side view!


Now Lonnie is getting creative with his views!


Pressurizing the dirt behind the retaining wall.
 The steps will be above this part!


Yet another view of that space above the porch!


And a high view of the 2nd floor closet!


And a view from the dock of the porch being added!!

The Rock Walls near completion!


So this is the rock step going from the beach up to the house!


And this is the set of rock steps going from the beach up to the storage basement!

Same set of steps with picture taken in the morning
All the mortoring hadn't been completed yet!

Rock wall on South side of house


Rock wall in front of deck along beach area!
Yes, we have a flat area for the beach!!

An overall view of most of the rock walls!

The Screened In PORCH AND RETAINING WALL


The Floor of the Screened in porch!


Now the walls and ceiling are up!

The other side of the cement wall of the screened in porch after it has been
Emulsified!!


A view from the lake side of the screened in porch.  
The stairs will come down to the left of it from garage level


Just another angle of it but the deck will wrap around to it and to the stairs!


The view of the deck over looking the water from the Great Room
This picture just stuck in here randomly because they put subflooring on the deck to have
a surface to work off of!
