We're getting down to the details now -- Ed and crew finished up some tricky interior work this week and tackled the bulkhead (which I think looks great). They also had to re-frame some windows because of the previously mentioned window problem and they started to finish the front of the house. Ed thinks that they have a couple more days until the House is totally closed in and about three weeks until we start with Sheetrock -- WOW. That puts us towards the end of November for interior painting. Plumbing will start this week. In these photos you can see the shingles that Leigh and I put on on Saturday. Because of time constraints and budget, we've decided to reduce the amount of the house that will have shingles and revert to the original plan of clapboard on most of the house and shingles only on the parts of the house that originally hand them. Ed and crew are going to do the clap board installation and Leigh and I will do the shingles.

So it's a busy week at the house and unfortunately Leigh and I won't be able to be there very much but we are looking forward to seeing what it looks like at the end of the week!

Ed and the crew is scheduled to start a new job by the middle of November so we're hoping that means that we'll be pretty much done at our house by then except for electric, plumbing, sheetrock and trim...
