Progress! The House Seven Days After Walls Delivered

Two days after the walls were put up, the roof trusses were delivered.
 It didn't rain this day - though the sky was certainly foreboding
That's Ed standing on a 6" wall with swinging trusses coming at him
All this time Ed and Chris have been tying walls together, building decks, and then placing the roof trusses, laying the roof sheeting on the trusses, and adding soffits.  A lot of work!
. 
Oh, yes, it's spring and we have had a few more days with some blue sky.  We aren't fooled though as it still has been raining.  Thankfully, not as heavy as in February and March but it has kept Dean busy vacuuming up the standing water.

And, seven days later .....

View from the south - master wing and living room windows
Back porch off laundry
It looks a lot like a house.  It's almost dry inside, and we can see the rooms for real.

Monday, the electrician, plumber and "mechanical" (heating) guys gather here to plan the next steps.

Stay tuned!
