So it's actually starting to look like a house with windows and trim and interior walls...things are moving right along. Today two guys worked on getting corner boards on and two worked on getting windows in. I cut out some windows, put on some ice and water shield and did some house wrap taping and got some of the site cleaned up. Here you're looking at our dining room as seen from the entry hall. Standing in the living room looking to the side door and towards the kitchen,

The kitchen...

We're trying to figure out now if we do actually want to do cedar shingles for most of the house or if we want to go back to the old plan of clapboards on most of the house and shingles on part. Still not sure and would welcome suggestions.

The great guys from Newburyport Water Department came to take away 8 or so loads of fill that has been a fixture in our side yard for quite some time...so nice of them. We also had National Grid at the house to install the gas line -- now we have power, gas and water.

You can see in this photo, to the right of the door, we had to cheat the trim board over a few feet so that it lined up with the roof of the addition. Hopefully it won't look too weird when it is sided.

Here's a nice look at what will be the main entrance to the house. Tomorrow Imar and his helper will start shingling the roof and Mark E is coming to finish the floor. I'm hoping that Ed and I can get some of the water tables done and that Leigh and I can go to town on shingles this Saturday. We'll see.
