October 6th house pictures

Above are the pictures of the house as it is today. Insulation is around the outside, windows are in, doors are here and going in soon, and PJ has just started putting outside edges/siding around the windows. The roof is shingled and we are hoping to get the rest of the siding on soon. This week Phil will be digging the hole for the septic and that will go in, pending the weather and everything else cooperates.

More pictures from the shingling. The guys started early in the morning and were at it almost into the evening. They got almost the entire roof shingled, but did come back to finish a small part the next day.

A weekend of shingling

Above are pictures from shingling the roof. My dad, Larry, my brother, Daniel and his two friends all came up to help out for the weekend. Phil, Eugene and PJ were up on the roof...they seemed to go in teams and do different sides of the roof...making the job go by quicker. The middle picture is of Daniel, they stopped in Hayward Saturday morning for a good breakfast after getting up at 3 AM or so to travel north. Benjamin was quite anxious to get up on the roof the entire day to be with "the boys"....against mommy's wishes and sometimes knowledge Grandpa Larry managed to get him up there a couple of times, which made it harder because instead of being afraid of the heights, Ben actually seemed to really enjoy it. Between Ben, the house and my job...I think I'll be gray fairly soon! P

Above are pictures of the frames of the inside walls. It's hard to tell which room is really which at this point in the pictures, but it looks really nice in the house. =)
