New House

black jimmy · 08-22-2007, 02:57 PM

This what I have abided my time with for about the last year and a half. I have done most of the work myself with a lot of help except framing the uptairs, sheetrock, roofing, block and concrete work. We hope to move in the upstairs part of it in the next few months. Pics are in chronological order. Enjoy

nice place! i'm jealous! capes are my favorite home style by far.

black jimmy · 08-22-2007, 03:07 PM

Thanks. I need to get some more pictures with the exterior chinking done. I am almost done with the inside chinking then we are going to get it ready for final electrical inspection.

How Beautiful!!!!!

CruiserKitten · 08-22-2007, 03:17 PM

Hi, I'm moving in with you.

black jimmy · 08-22-2007, 03:24 PM

Thanks for the compliments. For the guys, the basement 980 sq ft. It is 12 ft tall with a 10x10 door. I will get some more pics tonight if I can.

Screwzer2 · 08-22-2007, 03:27 PM

Looks real good. I'm not too fond of the chocolate brown walls, but I don't have to live with 'em.

Enjoy!

blkntancj · 08-23-2007, 10:47 AM

NICE!!! I love the look of the squared timbers.

Very nice! It makes me miss Tennessee (Aridzona is sooo different). How much land?

Terrys_85_Toy · 08-23-2007, 11:35 AM

Nice place. And I was over zealous about my new deck I'm building.

61scout80 · 08-23-2007, 11:38 AM

no one claiming he needs more triangulation???

Bobzooki · 08-23-2007, 12:02 PM

Uh, "black jimmy", you don't LOOK black!

chimmike · 08-23-2007, 12:08 PM

Looks good man

We're getting ready to close on our new house shortly.....we prolly got a lot less space and paid probably the same as you

PONY_DRIVER · 08-23-2007, 01:24 PM

What is the point of having that false roof line on the end of the house? I hate those. That said it's a beautiful house man, congrats.

symmetry of the main roof line. it helps keep the house looking like a traditional cape, but having the shed dormer off the back gives the second floor a lot more room.
the false eave has no structural importance. just preference of the home owner. kinda like most shutters these days.

I have 1 acre but the inlaws have 6 that seperate us and I have free use of at anytime. That is where the wife keeps her horses.

What he said. Looking back, I kinda wish that I would have not had it put up there, but too late now. I need to remember the digi so that I can post more updated pics.
