Lucy Ave – Footings
The big trucks are starting to arrive. The footings were poured late last week and have had enough time to cure. They will be pouring the rest of the foundation and the fireplace wall in one pour. The foundation pour was delayed because we were trying to determine the best way to build the fireplace wall that Kenner and Stephanie of Architectural Nexus designed. It’s a 24″ thick wall that extends up to the bottom of the second floor. It’s a bit difficult to construct but will be beautiful in the end and it gives us a surface in our living room besides sheetrock. We really like the idea of having an exterior material as an interior wall. We ordered Pella windows on friday, they are beautiful wood clad windows, no vinyl here! They will be here in about three weeks and will be ready to install by then according to Benchmark. Thursday we’ll have an update on framing.

are there more floor plans or sketches that can be posted? the one drawing you do have looks great…just wondering if there were other views of the outside and floor plans we can see too.
Our architects (Kenner Kingston and Stephanie Kooyman from Architectural Nexus) are working on getting us some color elevation drawings. We’ll be posting those as soon as we get them.

I’m so excited for you guys! The house is going to be awesome! I will love staying over!
Make sure you keep us all informed on the progress. The house is in an ideal location. I am feeling a mixture of envy and inspiration. I picked up a copy of dwell magazine and I hope I will be able to have my ideal dream home one day.
