The windows are in and look really good with the trim done. You can see some of the green on the corner boards. And yes, I am still painting trim boards! These guys use them faster than I can paint them.
I can't get enough of this great weather. I know it won't last so I try to spend as much time as possible out here soaking it up. I went for a walk today and took some pictures from the back and the south.
No one was working out there today because they were forecasting rain, but it never did rain.
I love being out here. The weather has been so beautiful and we have been so fortunate to not have rain. I like sitting here in the house. It smells like fresh cut lumber and I can see all the way through every room in the house from where I sit. I can see clear up through the part of the roof and see the sky. I sat here a year ago in the grass and enjoyed the view and the quiet and today it is so different yet so the same. Beautiful weather, beautiful views. This year the sound of the wind in the trees is mixed with the sound of Tyvek rippling in the wind :)
October 3, Day 83: The roof trusses arrive!
October 4, Day 84: We continue to paint every day! Sometimes even by headlight!
Oct 5, Day 85: As the roof goes on, the house begins to change
October 7, Day 87: They had to bring in a crane to get the highest trusses up. It was a rather windy day so it was pretty eventful to watch.
There was a bit of a slow down as waited for the second floor trusses to arrive. This gave me some time to go to a family reunion and visit with my sisters and still not miss anything! The trusses arrived on the job site on September 26 and went up on the 27th.
Then the second floor walls could begin to go up . . . . .
The views are great from upstairs. . . .
The house looks a little boxy at this point. Getting the roof on will help.
And in the meantime, I am still painting and painting and painting.
