Don't Look Now, 'Cause it's Very, Very House-Like

Tim and Josh returned to the house site for a second day--and what progress was made!  Fantabulous amounts thereunto.  Siding on the north and west; roof OSB plus outside insulation on; a stationary glass window installed.  Wow!

See pics below.  We (the lads and I) hope to have the entire outside finished (sans painting the exterior) by Thursday of next week.

Enjoy!

After Three Months-Progress!

Well, after a long, hot summer, I finally got my OSB up and some foam insulation on the outside in preparation for applying the Hardie Board later this month.

Greg S., my friend and church brother, 'loaned' me two guys from his work crew, Tim and Josh, to help me get the framing work I'd done in May squared and leveled.  

They did it, and had only a modicum of corrective carpentry to accomplish.  The whole process of watching these two framing masters work with what I'd done earlier was gratifying to say the least.

They want to come back next week and help me get the framing in for the two sets of French doors and to get the roof framing done.  I, then, can come in and finish the roof and put in the fiberglass insulation and sheerock.

All in all, a great day on the homestead.  More and soon!

Tim Can't Believe My Previous Work was Not Too Bad!
