Elevation complete on the river house

Elevation on the river house is now complete. There are a few more things to be done before it is marketable, but the majority of the grunt work is behind us. Well, maybe not. I guess this just seems like a big milestone! It was raised up 5 layers of brick, approximately 40 inches. The garage was cut wider and higher and we installed room for three big basement windows to add more light to the basement and cut up the huge wall of brick. We still need to install the windows, get a new garage door, and reconnect the plumbing and electrical. We are having Klunder Homes construct three new wood stair cases. I'm excited to see how nice it looks!!!

  1. Seeing the pictures brings back lots of memories from a short period of time. Progress though! Hopefully it won't be too much work with a new baby.

  2. It looks great. And I suppose a taupe paint job on the brick will pull it and the wood trim together.
    The steps and landing will be dramatic!
