Form over function-- at least form before function

Today was a big day insofar as it feels a lot more real now that the forms have been laid. The next few weeks entail the pool and spa getting dug out and brought to gunite stage, the foundation gets poured and then the framing and real shape of the house becomes real.

WARNING: Sizes viewed by forms and foundation may appear smaller than they are. 

If you ever build a home, don't get too frazzled when a 12x15 room feels like an airplane bathroom when viewed sans walls.

We had a great day comparing appliances-- some good options to be shared, and we will seek opinions!

Below are some pics of the framing today.
