More Great Progress

I was away for a week at the HDI Conference, before I left, we had our annual "shooting weekend". We usually have it at Kyle's farm but this year I invited them to our place. We shot various weapons, drank plenty of beer and did a shot of Jack to the late George Reichert 2nd. We miss you George.

While I was away, they made great progress. The soffets were framed and the actual metal facia and the soffet materials were installed, the upstairs walls are all framed, the small walls around the shower stalls are now framed, the great room stairs are now "roughed" in and usable and the cedar posts for the front porch are all in place and ready for concrete.

The garage doors are nearly complete, the installers started on Friday and now have 3 full days invested, they estimate a half day tomorrow and they will be all wrapped up.

The crew is working on framing the interior walls of the shop areas and have one wall complete and another nearly ready to stand up. The windows and exterior doors were delivered today and a load of gravel needed to finish preparing to pour the concrete on the front porch and a portion of the metal siding was delivered today also.

The electrician is starting tomorrow, the crew will finish framing the shop walls and prepare for pouring concrete, currently planned for Thursday. Then they will begin framing the roof on the front porch and shortly begin framing the fireplace.

The most exciting news, we have a "SOLD" sign out front of our house in Streetsboro. We close 2 weeks from tomorrow and so far, no show stoppers or major surprises. Still waiting on the appraisal and one plumbing inspection, then we are home free.
