Progress Report

It's been a pretty productive week, but I don't have any new photos. The gas and electricity have been hooked up and the furnace has been installed, so it's nice and toasty inside the house. The painter is painting the trim and he will be re-painting the gables on Monday. The color we chose for the gables turned out to be a really awful color. I think the new color will be a big improvement.

Front Door & Paint

The color of the gables is still the primer and the trim has not yet been painted. The front door is in, but it's covered by plywood on the outside.

Patio, Porch, Sidewalk

The sheetrock is finally done! Also, the patio, porch and sidewalk have been poured.

Garage Floor, Sheet Rock & Fireplace

It's been a slow week. The concrete for the garage and shop was poured on Tuesday. The gas fireplace was installed on Friday, but you can't see much because it's covered with cardboard. We are hoping they will spray the texture on the sheet rock tomorrow. The sheet rock photo is the master bedroom. The two doorways are the bathroom and closet.

Gutters & Sheet Rock

They put on the gutters and downspouts last week. The sheet rock is up, but they need to finish with tape and mud. Next week they will be pouring concrete for the garage and shop floors, the porch and patio. The painter should also be starting soon.

Siding & Sheet Rock

All that needs siding now is the area around the front door. The ceiling and a few walls have been sheet-rocked.

Siding & Septic System

The last week has been very busy. The siding is on the shop and the east and north sides of the house. The septic tank is in and the trenches for the drain field have been dug. The excavating for the power, gas and phone lines is done. They will start putting up the sheet rock this coming week.
