So Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all good work days at the house -- first Friday -- I showed up at about 9:45 and the roof was almost half done.
Imar and his crew did a great job and got the shingles on in one day. Mark E was also at the house and finished most of the basement floor.
On Saturday Leigh and I worked for a few hours -- she primed water tables that will be installed this week and put
Styrofoam vents in between the rafters on the second floor while I used an electric planer to plane the
tybeams in the upstairs guest bedroom and to put a beveled edge on them -- sorry not photos of that...
Then on Sunday, I finished applying most of the house wrap and
tyvek tape so that no more water can get in the house. This is also almost the last step before siding starts. Early this coming week, Ed and crew will attach the water tables (bottom trim board) and then I can go to town with the shingles.
Imar and one of his crew will be back this week to do two days of work. The goal for the end of this week is to have the house closed in with the exception of a few windows we are waiting on. This means building the front entry, installing doors,
re framing the middle part of the front of the house.
I'm hoping by the end of the week, that the front of the house will be ready to start applying the clap boards...cross your fingers!
Finally, we're about ready to get started on the septic system - we're just waiting for one more bid before we get started.
