Progress Update July 24th, 2007

This week Dwayne is working on connecting the water and electric to the house. Somehow he is going to connect these pipes from the main water supply

to these pipes going into the house! (I swear I don't know how he knows to do all of this stuff!)

Our back/side yard

I had the pleasure of meeting our neighbor, Mr. Bullock, yesterday. Turns out he does excavating for another neighbor, John Feshal, and he is the one responsible for this--



It was exciting to see the back/side yard flattened out and help us to visualize our back yard better! This picture was taken from the porch outside the master bedroom.

Electrical work!

We were fortunate to have a long-time friend, Stephen Mason, help out today with electrical work. Dwayne commented several times how great it was to have a third set of hands. They were able to get quite a bit done-here are can lights going up in the vaulted keeping room.



Here a couple of switch boxes

Progress Update

The outside of the house is really coming along. The siding is complete on the front and would be completely done if the guys hadn't run out. We are using pre-painted Hardi siding and ended up with quite a few pieces that had some defects from the factory. Our supplier was great about replacing them, but it's going to take about three weeks to get the new siding here. The metal roof on the kitchen is finished, but we asked the roofing crew to pull out until the siding is complete so no one will be walking on it. We are really pleased with how the outside is shaping up!
