Siding and Insulation

So a variety of images from the past week. I have not been as motivated to blog about the goings on. I think there are several reasons for this including the late nights I have had trying to get off work, visit the house, come home make food, and then editing weddings. THANK GOD I just am finishing my last wedding for 2008. Now on to the other reasons I have not been keeping my many (1-3) regular viewers informed First, there has been very little progress to document. Second, I have been a lazy bum. Well here is what has been happening. The construction guys took an extended weekend and did not work from Wed of last week until today. That being said they got some major work done today. They put about 1/2 the siding on, and left the hardest part for I am guessing tomorrow. The insulation guy did his part and put all that in today as well. They also put in the gas lines, installed the electricity (notice the working electric meter), and water as well. No pun intended and we aren't even on a well. I also finally got some pictures of the roof in the daylight so those are on here tonight. Have fun with the pics and I will try to keep the site more current, 2-3 times a week updates and a weekend update with pictures from daytime. I also really want to do a video walk through of the house this next weekend.

The basement all insulated. It was amazing the difference the insulation made even tonight when we were in the house.

Adding Some Heat

Well I have been slacking big time on my blog duties. There really has not been much to speak of. This was a slow week with lots of things going on. They added all the plumbing and started working on the HVAC. That's about 75% done as of this posting. I think tomorrow they will finish it. Someone came through and found all the messed up stuff and labeled it to be fixed. That a good thing I guess because while it would better if it wasn't messed up in the first place, at least someone is inspecting the work to make sure its right. I don't know if it was a framing inspector or a Viking guy. I think Viking because they also noted all the changes we wanted done and I don't know that the inspector would know that the walk-in closet door needed to be reframed per our change?!?!?! Anyways enjoy a few images.
