Layout and Foundation
"Pumping the Concrete Foundation"
Brad and his father on the construction site supervising the pouring of the foundation. The Kelleys home has a full solid concrete basement with lots of space for future expansion.
Framing
"The Last Roof Rafters Being Installed!
The framers had a fun time getting this roof put together. As you can see, in this and the next picture, there are lots of "hips and gables" to work out. When you get them framed right to start out with... all the rest of the home comes together much easier.
 
Roof Sheathing Installation
 
"Roofing Installation Underway!"
This home is located in an older well established high end subdivision Wellsley Heights. The lot is located a mile from Keeneland Race Track and the Lexington Airport and just another couple of miles from downtown Lexington. That significantly raised the appraised value of this wonderful home.
Trey Ceiling Framingl
"Now I Know Where All My Lumber Went!"
The Kelleys master bedroom suite had a very large trey ceiling that really accents this upscale home.
