Roof sheeting going on.



Hello friends and family,
I will send newer photos of the ENTIRE roof covered in sheeting soon.
The photos here are almost to that point.
We have decided to do solar shingles on South side of roof.
We are becoming more excited each week as this home of ours materializes.

It's going up!




The framing, trusses, and glue lambs are up. They will start soon with wall and roof plywood construction.
It is still very hot (in the 90's). They are a hard working crew. We visit our site daily.

Sub flooring and photo of driveway




The sub flooring is in and the markings for the studs and walls, etc. are completed.
Walls (2x6s) go up mid next week. The main level is nearly 15 ft off the ground...more than we estimated. Better view...let's hope. Nice long driveway for snow plowing.
And, the photo above is Highland Drive
. Our driveway is to the left past the orange recycle bin.

Framing this new house



We have a tent over the house building due to the HOT, hot weather and direct sunshine. It helps.
The basement is HUGE! Anyone want to come live with us? Ha!
Today they are putting in the floor joists and next week the subflooring. Don't I sound like a contractor?! We are pleased with the work and the crew.

Hello all, We are now digging the ditches for the lines for water, electricity, cable ,etc.


Gary and crew are starting the stick framing today if they can get throught the 96 degree weather. It is all exciting!
