Siding and Decking

The biggest news since the last entry is the decking finally arrived. Not having that has prevented them from moving forward with the back porch, which also has held up them finishing the framing and roof of the house as a whole.

Siding is starting to go up now. It obviously makes a big difference in the look of the house.

This window will be moved away from the front door.

Camped out.

The siding is now finished around most of the second floor.

A Full House

It has been a while since the last entry, but it has been a little busy. Celia is here! She has taken up a lot of our time to say the least, but there really hadn't been a lot to show on the house until this past week. They had poured the slab for the garage and been working on the cornice around the house between the last entry and last week. But an afternoon visit one day last week was a big surprise when it suddenly appeared that we had two houses. Though there are a lot of slow parts of the process, framing is not one of them...

They also put up some siding, which gave us more of an idea of what the house will actually look like.
