Back to Work!

The crew came back to work Monday as planned. So far this week they framed the front gable wall of the house, completed the metal roof, completed all of the OSB siding on the entire building and put on house wrap. They also "finish" framed all the garage door openings.
Tomorrow they will be framing the walls upstairs. Next week the garage doors will be installed, and the crew should be ready to install exterior doors and windows. The only windows that won't be installed yet are the trapezoid windows in the West gable end, those are being custom made and will be another couple of weeks. We also had the 3 fiberglass shower stalls delivered this week. The crew will also frame around them next week.

I selected the electrician, he is ready to get started next week. I am still working on the HVAC and plumbing contractors.

I will be away next week attending the HDI conference so I hope for some great progress when I get back the following week.

Installing the last piece of metal roof, we are now water tight from the rain!

The front of the house with all metal roof completed and all the plywood siding installed.

The back of the house with all metal roof installed and all plywood siding installed.

The final piece of plywood siding being installed "Yoder Style". Hey, whatever works!

Inside the shop area. This area is ready for the interior walls to be framed, may get to that next week too. This area is 48 feet wide and 66 feet long, before we break it up into the shop rooms and storage.

A shot of the trapezoid windows before they get covered with house wrap. These were measured and custom ordered on Tuesday.

Putting up the house wrap, 31 feet off the ground. Again "Yoder Style".

I had visitors this evening, this was taken out the window of the camper. It is a buck.
