Siding, Porch Columns -- November 19 -- Day 130

Things were pretty busy for a Saturday. A neighbor came by and cut some fire wood. The framers, who are almost done, worked on the siding and the porch. The electrician was there and we walked through the house planning all the lights and outlets. The HVAC guys worked digging some more trenches. Bryan cooked brats on the grill and fed anyone who would eat.

Ground Source Heat System -- November 15 -- Day 126

Some days I wish things were moving faster but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. I think everyone's calendars include holidays I don't know about.

There is a little more of the siding done and you can see 3 of the arches across the front.

The ground source heat system is coming along

The plumbing keeps moving along

And a few of the lights on the porch are laid out.

The fireplace was installed yesterday.

I was wondering how the outside vent would look. It is barely noticeable.

Siding and Plumbing -- November 7 -- Day 118

The weather is starting to change and it can be pretty cold out here when the wind is blowing. We have had some beautiful fall days, though. This was taken during one really beautiful walk. I scared up several deer this day as well.

The roof is on and the siding is on the upper part of the house. The plumber has been working on the inside and the outside. The HVAC guys have been out here some as well.

HVAC going in

The cabinet maker was out one day and we went over the kitchen cabinets. I spent a morning with the plumbing fixture lady and went over all the faucets, sinks, showers, toilets and tub once again. The fireplace has been selected and bought and should be installed soon. The electrician was out several times last week and we discussed all the power and light. I think we have 72 can lights!

We had a very big weekend with a big party -- mostly surprise party -- for my hubby and love of my life, Bryan. It was a great party and I do have pictures! But that will be my next post so watch for it!

DAY 105 -- October 25

The roofers started on Saturday.

Our HVAC guy started working on the geothermal on Sunday afternoon.

And today the framers started putting up siding.

Things are changing fast! And it looks so good!

Today was extremely windy. Blew stuff all over the county I suppose. Emily and I walked around picking some of it up. And we swept out the house some.

Building A House: DAY ONE HUNDRED!

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.
