Insulation is in and siding is up!!

Hello!

The insulation is in and the siding is going up. By this time tonight, the siding is completely done, but it was too dark to get pictures.

The bricks are done, and the drywall will start on Friday. The stone will likely start next week. We will also be getting a new roof. The shingles were ordered and some of the dye lots were very different.

We're back!

We had to get a new camera a couple of weeks ago, and I think there is something in the settings I don't have quite right. My pictures are a little blurry.

The brick is completed around the garage, the wiring is well underway. The siding has arrived and the bathtub in the basement has been installed.

We were told that drywall will start on Thursday.

A few more bricks - a LOT more plumbing

The photos of plumbing are not very exciting, but we do have some progress. You can now see the red and blue (hot and cold) water lines being installed. We did see that some of the shingles were the wrong dye lot, so the roofers will be back.

There was also more brick installed. They didn't go as fast today as they did yesterday. I was a little disappointed about that but it may be because the arches above the windows need to dry before they go forward.


This is the laundry room...

This is in the basement
This is the master bathroom....


Here are the bricks above the windows...or at least to the windows.

Shingles are done and bricks are started

The shingles are done and the bricks have a very good start. We did the electrical walk through today at noon. I tossed in a picture of one of the markings...

This is getting really exciting!!!

More progress in spite of the wind...

We are under a strong wind advisory, but some of the shingles have been placed. They are still there, which is good! The bricks have "started"...well, there are 3 on the ground.

We have one tub in the basement and the other one installed on the main floor. We also have the plumbing in for the washer.

Garage Doors and Shingles have Started!

Today, the garage doors were installed and some of the shingles. It started raining so the shingles are not complete.

The bricks also arrived. I hear they will start brick work on Monday! We talked with Scott (the builder) tonight and he thinks things will be going pretty fast from here on out.

We do the electrical walk through next week (hopefully Monday). We are well on our way. Before you know it, I will be in there painting rooms!!!

WaHOO!
