First floor complete!

Stopped by the site after work and it looks like the first floor is complete. Amazing!

For those of you who haven't seen the plans, or don't remember the details of them, that big rectangular hole on the left is for our front door and sidelite. The front door opens into our front foyer (of course), which is an enclosed vestibule with a closet on the right-hand side. The second door, which leads into the hallway, creates a kind of airlock to keep the cold or heat out of the main part of the house, depending on the time of year. When you open the second door, you will see our stairs to the second floor on the left-hand side, a bathroom on the right, and a bedroom and office at the end of the short hall. That opening on the front right-hand side of the photo is for the garage. The office and bedroom both have rear-facing windows; the bedroom (at the rear on the left) has a second side-facing window, and our office (at the rear on the right) has a door leading out to our backyard.

The first floor is our smallest floor of living space, since it includes the garage. Still, we're packing a lot into that space to make the best use of it.

Looking forward to seeing floor #2!
