Building A Farmhouse - Our Custom Home Construction

  Garage is open and now that the framing is done they uncovered the windows. The final awnings were being built. Final set of awnings are now over the garage. Blue roofing material went on parts of the roof this week. I imagine it should be done by the end of next week.  We showed up and found a bunch of mechanical heating/cooling equipment in the garage early in the week. We changed the stain color for our beams to Dark Oak with the tongue and groove being stained at 50% of the same color so we have some contrast. More of the roof.

It took me about an hour and a half. It is typically dry here so after I got the water out it was windy but no more rain came and it dried completely out by the next morning.  The trusses above were prepped for the beams that will go in the living room.  They lowered the header going into the front room. Guest bath shower pony wall and lowered ceiling so the glass doesn't have to be so tall. Little awning over the upstairs bedroom. Windows arrived along with the temporary front doors. Also this is a view from across the garage. The next few pictures are of the garage now that they've taken all the supports...
