Day 152 - Outside

So here are the pictures as promised.  I wanted to wait until the weekend was over so all the work could be seen.  The rocks are not there yet, but will be soon!  The front door is in!  The west wall of the house is DONE!  The south side of the house is in the works!  The roof is closer! The chimney/wood stove will be installed this week!!  And so on and so on!

This was the end of day 152

So now that you know what the exterior plans are you can start thinking and wondering what the inside is going to be like!  Sheet Rock will go up next week and then paint and trim!  Still a lot to do, check back again soon!

oh, the heat.....

It almost goes without having to say it...... It's hot. Right now our biggest obstacle is the heat and there isn't much we can do about it. Today it is 108 degrees. Who knows what the heat index is? Our roof panels are going to be delayed a few days because of the weather. It seems Noark is limited in what they can do, as well. They are sending their guys home early and the panels really need it to be cooler. The glue they use for the panels have a work time of 25 minutes (ideally) and it is so hot that the glue is setting up faster than it should, so the guys have to work fast and hard to get that panel finished before the glue sets up. I know Adam really wanted them to be here next week, but there is so much to be done before they can be installed. Like eating an elephant, one bite at a time. In our case, an overcooked, hot elephant.
