We took a couple of weeks "off". Our contractor and his crew went to Vegas for 2 weeks for a bowling tournament. We took the time to run up to Maine to see family and get some things done before they got back. These first pictures are of the progress just before they left...
It's kind of hard to see it, but these are the rooms.
This will be the bathroom and a bedroom to the right.
Kitchen.
Great room.
And another bedroom.
It's Black Mammy time, or foundation waterproofing, if you prefer...
Garage and retaining wall.
Back side of the garage.
The back side of the house.
The front side of the house. What I didn't get a picture of was the drain tile that went all around the house and garage. We laid that, then covered it with gravel using the Green Machine (tractor), a shovel and rake...that might explain why I didn't get a picture, we were wiped out!
Last Friday and Saturday we had Robbie and his cousin Don out working on backfilling the house.
They did a great job tapering the areas around the house. This will be the view from the office.
The front yard.
We are trying to propagate boxwoods.
This was yesterday, the first roof truss going up!
All of the interior walls are framed and half of the north exterior wall is done.
Stu is back at the property today working with the excavators backfilling the garage. Can't wait to see it tomorrow! With any luck and cooperation from the weather, we'll be able to finish up the north wall on Friday and be able to set the rest of the roof trusses on Saturday. Fingers crossed...
