Week 15 more windows
They installed the other windows in the addition, except the 4 they don't have yet. The biggest difference we notice today though is that they replaced the windows in the current kitchen and living room. Huge difference!! The two upstairs bedroom windows will also be replaced. The windows are here, just not installed yet. There are two basement windows that didn't get ordered, and the two for the dormer aren't in yet. The doors should be in sometime next week. Tomorrow the roofer is supposed to come and finish the shingles and cap vent. The plumber and electrician may start tomorrow also!
and inside...this room will become our dining room when the addition is done.

Closet walls
We worked our tails off putting up more osb board on the closet walls. The north and south walls are done. The west wall needs just a little work where we need to leave access to the crawl space. The east wall- which shares 1/2 it's wall with the house- still needs to be done. I don't know why that pic loaded sideways!!!

Week 14 paint
The last few days there wasn't much to report. They were doing small jobs and working on caulking the seams of the outside walls. Today the painted. What a difference!!!! They used a good barn paint that should last us until we can save enough money to do real siding. They also finished the roofing work on the addition but not the closet. They are still waiting on windows.

Make sure you check out the other post with Ella's pictures!

Week 13 snow
Dave talked to the builder today. He said they came out yesterday, took one look at all the snow and headed for some place warmer! They plan to come out tomorrow and do prep work to get everything weathered in. Windows and doors should be in Friday or Monday. Nighttime temps Friday and Saturday are supposed to be in the single digits! Brrrrrrrrrr!!
In other news...our "favorite" neighbor knocked out part of the beaver dam by the bridge. The pond level dropped over a foot in just a couple of hours. I guess the beavers came back to rebuild because tonight he was out there with a rifle, with a light shining into the creek. I heard 2 gun shots just a few minutes ago. I hope he missed!

Closet and firewood
One of the carpenters came today to start work on the closet roof. He said it was easier to work alone today because it was a "thinking day." Why would he have to put thought into a roof on an unsquare pole construction room that ties into a roof on another pole construction room??? He seems to have it figured out now though. He has 3 beams in place and a couple of roof rafters. The rest should go pretty quickly.

Week 12 wall above bathroom
Terry, I added extra pictures today just for you!
This is looking into the storage area from the end of the balcony. It is above the bathroom and the stairs that go from the kitchen to the basement. The ceiling height isn't high enough for most adults to stand up in but would be a great place for a kid's playroom or secret hideout!!
It takes two shots to show the living room from the balcony...to the left of the center post...
