Okay, I need to play serious catch up in order get the blog rolling smoothly.
We start the actual house building at the end of January. And currently we are putting the siding on. So, yeah. I haven’t brought you up to speed.
So here it goes.
We finished the foundation. Installed the joists. The HVAC guys came and installed their lower duct work. Hart Plumbing (Will’s Cousins) came over and did the rough plumbing. We insalated and decked the subfloor (Will, Dad, Mom, Me, Londa). Framed the back portion of the house; that way it supported and balanced the extremely tall walls in the front room (Will, Me, Mom, Dad, Rico, Spencer, Jesse).
We had the large cottonwood tree trimmed. Half was dying and I didn’t want it the spread.
Then on a horribly rainy and cold day we framed the main area (Will, Me, Mom, Dad, John, Rico, Spencer, Jesse, Quinton).
We craned in a 8″x18″x40′ beam that runs the length of the house. Sheeted the sides, and framed the roof. Fowler’s Roofing came over and roofed it in one day! Thankfully Rico, Will’s dad, provide our roofing.
That should give you a general break down. So now I can just report as it happens.
Oh, and here is the photo evidence! I added the “stairs” or “ladder” we used to walk up to the house. We are finally beyond them.
