Walls Up. Floors In. Cabinets In. Porch looks awful.

Lots of stuff has happened over the last 2 weeks. Walls went in and we were finally able to see how everything is going to look.

I love the horizontal panel doors- glad we were able to make those happen.

The bunk room is turning out really neat-

One big problem. The porch looks terrible. I can hardly look at it.

One problem- I asked for 8" columns, thinking they would look nice and beefy. They look ridiculous. They're way too big for the not so big house we were hoping for. Also, they didn't account for the big size of the columns when they framed out the porch and hang out over the porch. They were going to try and frame out the top of the porch to make it fit, but it's just not going to work. I had to go over there with Lou, the foreman, and promise him I'd buy him and his crew some beer.

So hopefully, we'll get a better looking, more appropriately sized porch in the next few days. In the meanwhile, here's where the house if for now:
