Clubhouse is Framed!

Well, the time has officially arrived - the clubhouse is framed! It all happened yesterday as we went from a big concrete slab to totally framed in about 5 hours. They worked so fast that the trusses aren't set to be delivered until tomorrow! Tom and I were both amazed at how big it feels now that the walls are in place. The slab looked pretty tiny but now, it's just huge! I was most surprised at the size of the fitness center and the billiard/tv room. There will be plenty of room for working out and then relaxing on the couch. :)

There are going to be some really cool views of the pond out the windows on the side and the back. Even though I have been in a clubhouse with the same layout, I was surprised to see just how many windows there are making it really bright and airy. The double sided fireplace is really cool too. It will be really welcoming to everyone as they enter. Here is a photo:

Jim has promised that the walls will be drywalled and possibly primed by our big event in June. So, I'm holding him to that one! Here is Jim hard at work to make it happen:

In other news, the grass is finally starting to appear over most of the ground. Jim is talking with a company about fertilizer and, get this, MOWING! Yes, I think we'll need to actually mow before the summer is over. Now, to the normal person, this may not seem very exciting. But, to all of us, it's great news as we've been trekking around here in mud boots all winter.
