Sheathing Continues.....

The garage is sheathed & they moved on to the north side of the house. Leryl says...."Thank goodness for toe kicks!" He's hoping to finish the sheathing by Friday as we're supposed to get showers Friday & Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed!

On to the Roof.....

Leryl, Greg & Jason put in the last post & finished sheathing the front porch. I like it!!! Then, they moved onto the garage roof. They sheathed the south side & Leryl is sure glad Jason is around. He's like a monkey! Leryl isn't too thrilled about being up there but.....it has to get done. We're hoping to finish the sheathing by Friday but no guarantees. I'm glad they don't expect ME to get up there!!!

Rockin' Chair Time!

We better start looking for rocking chairs for the front porch. I think we'll be spending time out there. The guys put up the porch roof trusses & sheathed it. Greg says it's his favorite part of the house. Mike left at 12:30 to go home for the weekend. A well deserved break for him. It will just be Leryl & Jason tomorrow & I think they'll be doing some catch up things so.....probably won't be doing a blog for a few days. It's a tall sucker. Wish we would have worked on lowering the roof line. Oh well. Hind sight......right! Have a good weekend everyone!

Down to the Little Ones.....

I'm back!!! Not a whole lot happened while I was gone over the weekend......it decided to rain off & on! It was sunny today so the boys were back out there. They have all the big trusses in place & now have to put up the little ones. The last picture shows the boys trying to figure out the coupling that connects the house to the septic. Leryl is talking with the plumber. They figured it out & we're connected. The girls like to be where the boys are.

The Trusses Arrived!

So.....the trusses arrived this morning & it took awhile to figure out how to off load them & where to put them. But....they got it done & we now have trusses over the garage & the living room. The boys tell me they did the easy ones first & they'll start the harder ones tomorrow. I'm going to be gone for a few days & I doubt that Leryl will post so.....it will probably be Monday before I do another one. Hopefully, all the trusses will be in place!

Workin' on the Stairs............

Three steps & the landing are done! The landing is higher than I had thought but....that's ok. Leryl spent some time putting in drain pipe & rock around the front of the house. Mike & Megan are relaxing at the end of the day. It was a hot one today.

Upstairs Exterior.......DONE!!!

The great room beam I forgot to post yesterday. Mike crawling around on the upstairs wall between the sitting room & second bedroom. And then we have......The Man Cave!!! Bigger than I thought it would be. All the better to hold the dead animals!!!
Lady Bug lying in the dirt.....her favorite place to hang out.
