We’ve been framed!

Progress on the house has been coming along nicely.  Scott and Neil have been working hard, Arden has been doing the more skilled labor, the engineering and generally keeping everything on track and Lorraine has logistics under control.

All of the windows are in, demolition is complete and the walls have all been framed.  These two upstairs bedroom had paneling that was just glued on to the walls.

The bedrooms are now framed and ready for the electrical, insulation, and drywall.

The basement is now all framed with all the windows in.  We should hopefully get most of the electrical done this week, and maybe all of the plumbing (keep your fingers crossed!)

The window wells outside turned out really nicely.  Scott did a great job grading the soil so it slopes away from the house.

We have a new outside yard hydrant that hooks up to the main water line.  Our plants are still doing OK, despite not being able to water them every day.

Yeah for fresh grown tomatoes!

I still want to trade strawberries for starts next spring if all goes well. Congratulations on all the house project. We're still in demolition phase of the old kitchen in which my dad is doing most of the work.
