I refuse to grow up.

...because if you did, you couldn't be a Toys R Us kid.



Cute updated version:

The garage has been fully framed, as has been the interior wall for the master bedroom.

Nice.
It looks like the tar-paper (or membrane) is on the roof too. The garage looks like it's about ready for sheathing, so the building wrap shouldn't be too far away.

This is a view of the roof from the back. I didn't think anyone would be interested, but I guess I was wrong.

Most architects never get to build our own houses. We have to live through the houses that people we know build.

Dude, I get a kick out of stupid car temperature pics. Watching a cool house get built step by step is fantastic! The more pics the better.

I just recently noticed, that the Stealth Cam trail camera we have mounted for motion-sensor pictures, has both temperature and moon phase imprinting for each image. I thought that was cool.

Hot off the press

Jesus Scotch, slow down with all the pictures.

Has anybody ever taken a dook in your front yard?

moon phase imprinting

Fun fact: It's easy to tell if the Moon you see tonight will be bigger or smaller tomorrow night. In the northern hemisphere the moons spells out "DOC" each month. D = waxing, O = full, C = waning.

 

[HecticArt]

Does that mean the D is the right side is convex for waxing and the C is the left side is convex for waning?

This weekend, they got the back decking down, and had built one wall of the porch.

Let's see if this works, it's a video we made, from the motion-sensor stealth camera. It should show the initial construction phase of the house.
Movie Maker: Stealthcam Movie

There's a funny/not-so-funny story within this video. At about the 1 minute mark, you'll see the walls swinging around, and then going onto the left gabled end of the house. But it's the walls that should go on the right gabled end, as you can clearly see the cutouts for the curved windows etc. About 10 seconds later in the video, the walls are all suddenly off of the left end, and on the right end. Then they proceed to put the correct walls on the left end.

When I saw the footage about a month ago, I kind of freaked-out, but I guess everything's OK.

Worked for me and it's freaking awesome! Great how it's all time stamped.

Hey, at least they caught the mistake before it became a major hassle.

Very cool!
I love the time laps stuff.

Btw, some of the early part of the movie is not time-stamped, because I cropped the images. About 2 days into the construction, they moved a trailer right in front of the camera. You can see where I relocated the camera.
