About a week and a half ago the construction of the stud walls began on our new home construction slab. I posted a few pics in the Vintage Photography thread,

but it soon became clear that I needed to post the house pics in a separate thread, so as not to clutter up the more spontaneous photo thread. I'll be posting pics of the construction progress here from now on.

Sorry, some pics have disappeared. I'm trying to fix it.

 

 

 

Will be watching.

 

Thanks, Jim for answering my elevator question. We have a shaft on the end of the house in a little tower but it now houses a spiral staircase. Its off the garage though and not in a very handy spot. In doing some minor research I stumbled upon a website about pneumatic elevators that are housed in a tube. They are very low maintenance, do not require a shaft and don't take a lot of space. Love, love seeing the progress on your house. BTW, I can smell the fresh lumber smell.

 

Very cool
Can't wait to see updates
Love the curve of the stairwell
That subfloor looks like it's 1"+ thick, wow

 

Thanks, Doug. Here is a view that shows the curvature of the stairwell all the way up to the ceiling.


This one is from the back porch which will be covered by the roof.

 

Is this in Texas?

Yes, Bill, Bellaire is a separate city within the confines of the greater city of Houston.
