The 20% chance of rain turned into a downpour for 2 hrs on Saturday. Not completely a lost day though - by 2pm, the rain cleared up and we were back to siding on the west side. During the rain, Mike and I ran to Menards to pick up a bath tub and other plumbing stuff.
Window sashes are installed in the large master bedroom window. If you remember from last week, they were shipped separately to be installed after the frame was in. The smaller window to the right will be left out to allow for materials to be loaded in (drywall, etc).
West hallway - the two small windows are installed.
Erin's craft room - both windows are now installed!
Huge progress was made on the east side! Outside of the corner piece to the right and the last piece of siding, this side is complete!
On the south side, I repaired some Tyvek that ripped, installed about 6 rows of siding and put up the first 8" trim board under the soffit. Looks great!
Here's a better view of the south side - siding is almost to the top of the windows! We actually ran out of siding or we could have gone up further! More siding is being delivered on Friday.
Another view looking east - looking great!
View looking west. The windows look great with glass installed!
I worked into the dark Friday night to finish demo in the upstairs room of the existing house. There is actually a shortage of dumpsters with the construction boom in the area and I got a call on Friday that my dumpster is being recalled as I have already had it for many weeks. So, I tried to get as much demo debris in it as possible - although it is not that full!
Our apple trees are working equally as hard. Two of three produced apples this year and we have already picked some.
Shop Kitty pic of the week - chillin up on the deck with the warm weather.
That's it for this week! Stay tuned for week 18 updates from the long Labor Day weekend. Maybe the south side will be complete!
