Windows going in, stairs are in!

House is painted, windows are going in!




And there's even some progress inside, like stairs! And the framing for the half bath/utilities.






Plenty of natural light


Let's head upstairs


Tub's made it inside, but obviously not installed yet



Hanging out in the master bedroom

Bedrooms framed, windows going in!

Another big piece showed up today, the one piece shower/tub.



After snapping the lines for the upstairs a few days ago, the framing was mostly done today (hence the tub). Looking up from where the stairs will be.



The bathroom is to the right where the ladder is. Beyond that is the walk-in close for the master bedroom From the top of the stairs, going right to left in the picture, is the stairway opening, the doorway for the hall closet, and the door for the 3rd bedroom. You can see the door for the master bedroom.



Looking out from the 2nd bedroom. You can see the closet on the left, then the doorway looking in to the master. 



Babe coming upstairs!

The view out of the master bedroom's front window







And the view out of the bathroom window. Great view from the throne!


The roof will be shingled today, and the windows will all get cut today too. The house is painted, and I for some reason forgot to take pictures of the color. Hoping to have most of the mechanicals in over the next two weeks.

Roof's up, upstairs interior laid out

10 days since the last update, and a lot of work has happened!

Roof is up



After the walls were finished, the whole Alaskan family came over to check out the progress




But what about the inside?

The windows are here and are being stored in the kitchen for now.  Nothing much to see down here since there won't be any rooms until the stairs go in, so lets climb the ladder and lay out the upstairs!


Still need some trim on the corners, but the light was needed.



Chalking out the lines where the walls will be.

Update on the house plans! We decided to flip the house around due to the layout of the lot.  We've got a new elevation, new interior drawings and the kitchen is basically finalized.  The washer and dryer are now shown under the stairs with the rest of the utilities, and they will be closed in not open like shown.

Wow wow wow... what a wet, grey, and wet summer it's been this year.  After record breaking rainfall delaying any progress in June AND July, things have finally started to move again at the homestead!

For most of the last two months, this is all that's happened:


On days when it hasn't rained, the tarp comes off to dry the pad.

 The driveway has survived at least

Finally, this week, some REAL progress!



And yesterday... CONCRETE!!!


Hopefully it's gonna go fast now...!
