Building is a Breeze

The breezeway is built!

Looking straight through from our livingroom doorway, through the breezeway and into Mom's doorway leading into her house.

Breezeway enclosed with the sheathing. Picture taken from our soon-to-be livingroom.

Front view of the house. the cut out in the center of the picture will eventually be the front door, which leads into the breezeway. Enter and turn left for Mom's house and turn right for our's.

The weeds will be replaced by wood decking and it will all look much better soon! More progress coming this week. There is rain in the forecast but the temperatures will be in the high 80s to low 90s.

Next steps will be doors and electrical work.

Major case of the shingles

Above and below are some more pics of the few days before shingle day.

And below is the result of yesterday's work. Ryan and his friend Colton did an EXCELLENT job installing an entire side of roof shingles (See the right side of the roof). Thanks guys!

This is the other side of the roof for the house and breezeway with just the tar paper lining.

See the window installed there to the right of the ladders? That is the dining room window! The ladders are blocking the huge livingroom window opening. We hope to finish the roof and get all windows and doors installed so the electrician can come in and wire it up. Dare I say that list of "chores" will be done by this weekend?

Stay tuned!

Raising the roof!

The weather is great today, and Eddie, Jay's construction manager at work, came down to build a house on his day off. What a guy! Thank you Eddie!

This is the truck delivering the trusses the other day.

And these are the guys hard at work!

Ta-Da! Trusses up!

Our computer no longer wants to connect to the internet, so posts will bea little sporatic (so what's new?) but rest assured, we will still keep you posted with lots of pics!
