Creating a Home vol 25

The spaces we’re creating inside and out of the homes that we are building. I’m showcase a bit of everything from floor to ceiling as well as exterior touches to really make each home unique and inviting. The craftmanship and customer style make each space a new area to explore and take pointers from.

The house has footers poured now. We’re adding gravel for equipment. Digging for septic install to run the rough plumbing and to really start to see a home taking shape. The footers show us where support walls will be and the rough plumbing lake kitchens, laundry rooms and baths. Can you envision this house yet?
