Week 16 electric and plumbing

We got two doors in today, the door to the basement under the kitchen and the east door of the living room.

The windows for the dormer also came in...

And a tub/shower...

The plumber and electrician were busy this week. Pipes and wires everywhere! Unfortunately some of it will need to be redone, like the thermostat for the kitchen heater is placed right in the middle of the only wall in the kitchen! Why didn't they put it at the edge!? And they put in the bathroom plumbing for a 3 ft vanity when we got a 4 ft vanity! They'll need to move the toilet closer to the shower.

Most of the lights are the recessed can lights- lots of light for not a lot of money!

Week 15 electric and shingles

The electrician was here before I left for work this morning. They put in lots of boxes and strung a lot of wire. He thinks he may be able to finish Monday or Tuesday!



The roofer also came today and did the vent cap and the rest of the shingling on the addition and closet.

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!

Week 15 WINDOWS!!!!!!

We have windows!!!! Yea!!!!! Most of them are here, about half are put in. We have some questions about a couple of them but I'm glad they are finally getting windows in!

Week 15 rain...again

Rain, rain go away, I wanted the workers to come today!!!

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.
