Construction Day 60 - April 28, 2011
I have been meaning to write an update and time has gotten away from me. So here's the latest and greatest:
The plumber and HVAC technician have been working for the past 2 weeks to get the plumbing and HVAC all in. They have just about finished. Dana is the electrician, so things have slowed down just a bit. Not that he isn't working hard - it's just hard to work all day at the office, then work all evening into the night on the electrical and make quick progress. Progress is being made, however, and it is looking good.
Sorry I didn't take any pictures. Didn't figure a picture of the furnace, water heater, or electrical wires would be that exciting. Hopefully there will be more "visual" progress soon!

Construction Day 40 - April 8, 2011
Here's a little explanation of what's up right now with the build. Most of this week, the crew has been working on framing in the basement. They still haven't put the stairs in, so I haven't climbed through the window well with the camera.
Yesterday, they started building some of the hips for the roof, and today they put the roof trusses on and started on the roof decking. They are planning on working through the weekend, so they should be able to finish the roof decking and finish putting the OSB on the garage walls. They are thinking that they will be ready to put in the windows and outside doors by Tuesday.
The last picture that I posted today is a look through the front door straight out the back through the living room. The big hole in the back wall is where the fireplace goes, even though it looks right now that it is going to be a door. The living room has a vault to it, so you can see from the third picture that the trusses are turned a different direction.
It's exciting to see how it is coming together. It is getting harder to have patience, but I know that it won't be ready to move into any time soon. :) Now I just have to start thinking about going through our current house and getting things ready to put it on the market. Anyone want to come do that for me??? :)
