Riverwood Custom, Sold Lot 36

A site-specific revision to this plan. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. 1,867 SF-Living, 533 SF-Garage.

This is a break from the traditional Pacific NW design and will head in a more contemporary direction.

Day 1. House is staked out. 11-15-16

Building site was opened up for our Geo-engineer to give us his input as to soil conditions.

Gunnar taking it all in.

The soil was good for bearing, but the mix of materials was not exactly what he was looking for to ensure stability.

Our solution was to dig down until we hit this dark soil and almost directly below is sold rock.

We are then filling in the cavity with rock to create a super stable base for this home.

Yesterday morning Ryan was putting some finishing touches on the grading.

The foundation crew is onsite today and starting the footing forms.

Footings formed.

Footings inspected.

Footings poured. 12/5/16

Freshly stripped foundation.

Only 40" of split in this one. Basically a flat compared to most of the others in the neighborhood. Should be a welcome relief for the framers.

Ryan is tackling the rain drains today. Beatiful day up on the hill!

Storm and Sanitary sewer hook-ups.

Utilities are inspected and backfilled. Yard is taking shape or more exactly, the shape of the yard is taking shape.

Ryan has been busy with the utility conduits and bringing in rock for the driveway, garage slab and front porch. Site is shaping up better than I was imagining.

Just another day in the snow in Springfield.

This home will have some really wonderful views!

Plumbers are in today as are the heating guys.

Underfloor heating and plumbing are complete. Next step is insulation.

Underfloor insulation is going in. Super nice day too!

By the end of today the deck will be totally walkable.

From the deck there will be a pleasant seasonal view of the river.

This is from yesterday. There is now a wall up along the back of the house. (or I should say "should be")

A back wall and a side wall. We should have another sidewall up by the end of the day. Today is another COLD and ICY day. The guys are spending a bit more time making sure they are safe today.

The house is progressing quickly. By the end of the day tomorrow, all the exterior walls should be up. (fingers crossed)

Just wrapping up the exterior walls and ready to jump in side.

All exterior and interior walls are up today. Walls are being straightened and plumbed in preparation of truss delivery.

View from rear deck.

View out kitchen window.

Interior in progress.

Dining room window view.

Walls are framed and plumbed.

Utility room

This will be the rear covered deck.

Trusses were here this morning. Bright and early too. Well, early at least. More "heavy fog' than "bright".

Trusses are going up quickly.

It is fun to see the shape of the roof taking form.

Roof has been taking a bit longer than expected. We had a truss problem which resulted in some of them going back to the manufacturer to be remade correctly.

Most of the trusses are set. Hip roof houses have quite a few more pieces in the roof.

This will be a fun one to see take shape.

Front porch is on. Things are starting to come together.

The crew should have a pretty good jump on getting the roof sheathing done. The weather has been hit and miss, but generally not too bad.

The home is certainly starting to look more like the picture I drew. Some sunny weather today will help speed things along.

Scott and the crew are working their way around the house. By the end of tomorrow, the roof should be done-ish.

A couple images from the roof. Nice view from the optional rooftop deck. I wonder if a rooftop deck would be legal?

This is the back yard. Very private.
