Roof Metal

The metal roof on the house is done and the metal roof on the shop areas is about half way done. They put in an 11 hour day yesterday (Saturday) so they could at least get the house under roof. They are going to be off our job site for the next two weeks, they have to finish the trim on another house they are building and the Amish builders daughter is getting married on April 12th, so lot's of preparations apparently.

During that time, I will get sub-contractors out to bid on HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical since I am sure it will take weeks to get them out, get their bids back and then select who we will go with.

The other exciting news is we accepted an offer on our house up North this week! So, let's all hope the appraisal and the inspections all go smoothly and if they do, we have to be moved out by May 17th.

Danial came down yesterday, he is on spring break next week so he is going to spend some time here with me. His 18th birthday is on Tuesday April 10th, so I'll be going home for that, first time home in over 5 weeks. Then Lorrie and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on Friday April 13th!

Picture from over by the pond, you can see it is really greening up and I have even mowed the grass twice already around the pond. The leaves are coming out on the trees also.
