Almost finished with the brick! Electrical, plumbing, and heat/air are now complete. They are also finished with insulation and will begin sheetrocking this week.

12/20-Update

A lot has happened on the inside of the house since the last post. All of the plumbing and electrical work is complete. The heating and air ducts are also installed. Last week they delivered the staircase and almost took out the front door in the process. Outside, the brickwork is about 70% complete and we have added our front door. The next phase will be the insulation followed by the sheetrocking which we hope to start after Christmas.

Beating The Cold

The past 10 days we have been dealing with the cold weather. The brick layers have worked when weather has permitted. The right side of the house is now fully bricked and they are starting on the back. Tuesday, the electricians began the rough wiring and the plumber is suppose to start the rough plumbing any day.

Since the last post we have almost finished the interior framing, set the windows and most of the doors, and began bricking.

We have a roof!

Despite bad weather, we were able to get a lot accomplished this week. The roof was sheeted and then prepared for shingles. The roof over the front porch was built, the back deck was framed, and much of the remaining interior was framed. The last picture is the great room fireplace.

Moving along with the framing
