The floor of the basement and stairs were poured about a week after the walls. Following is the all the framing progress from last week. The framing itself should take a few weeks.
Smooth.
The framers hard at work. I don't envy the weather they've been working in.
After the first day.
The concrete stairs are one of the exits from the basement. Two egress are required by code so we went for a staircase instead of another window.
Three days into framing, the basement is complete, 1st floor about halfway.
A better view of the basement stairs.
Wood stairs in the middle of the house, from 1st to basement.
This picture is taken from the corner of the large room in the basement. The egress stairs are behind me, to my left. To the right, in front of me, first, is a storage area, then bathroom and then a guest bedroom. To the left, behind the stairs, will be a theater room. We'll be finishing the basement later, ourselves. The framers were very kind to frame in so much of the basement. Only one wall and the staircase had been required.
A view from the top. You can see the one window into the basement. It leads into the guest bedroom. Above it will be the living room.
It's so dang exciting to see some walls now. The kids are begging to go camping in the basement now :)

That is SO exciting! I remember when they poured the foundation in our AZ house and I kept thinking - this house is going to be too small. Of course it wasn't once they'd built it all up...until that 5th baby came along ;)
Wow! That's so exciting!! Brings back so many memories of our own build. It's looking fabulous!! Whats the ETA to moving time?

You can't beat a walk-out basement. You'll be glad for the rest of the days you own this home....
