Moving right along...

You know...I kept coming to my blog, thinking to myself that I needed to update it. And every time I would leave the blog and go surfing around and forget to actually do it. Oops...

Anyway, there has been much progress on the ol house, as you will see. Here are some pics that I have taken the past few weeks:


These pics show a lot of progress over the last ones I posted. As you can see, the house is completely "built", with the major part of the construction done. All the framing is done at this point, and the roof wrap has been installed. The second shot is from one end of the house on the second floor. It gives a good idea of how much room we have on the second floor to play with.

Here are some more:

These shots are a little further along. The roofing has been finished and construction of the back deck has started. The second shot is a closeup of our new front door. Not too bad looking.

I didnt get a good opportunity to get out to the house and get any really good pictures between the 10th and today, so the next pic looks a bit further along than the others. I am going out to the house on Sunday to get some shots on the inside, since they have been working a lot in there. The last pics I had up, nothing had been done inside. As of today, all the electrical/plumbing/HVAC are roughed in, the insulation is done, and the drywalling is complete. They are moving along quite nicely I must say. Here is an exterior shot from today:


As you can see, the exterior is pretty much complete. They still have to finish the back of the house, but I think they are waiting till a few other things are done before they put the rest of the siding up. Snow Queen and I went and finalized the appliances yesterday, and we went and selected all our lighting and plumbing fixtures. All in all, the house is moving along fairly quickly.

I will post more on Sunday or Monday once I get some new interior pics.
