House and House and More House!

Yes, our lives are dominated by building a house. It's sad and somewhat demented but true. So, without further adieu, here is a photo montage of this month's progress.

The photo of of me hanging over the edge might need some explanation. The way we sheathed and insulated the roof was from the inside of the structure. The insulation is 4ft. x 8ft. foam panels. In order to attach it, we had to hang on the edge of the sheathing and reach out to screw it down. Definitely made for a sore body at the end of the day.

Jane is enjoying our newly minted stairway. Stairs are a simple thing and so much nicer than a ladder for getting upstairs!!

With the completion of the mudroom (the little room that Brian is standing in front of), the structural portion of the building is complete. We are finishing it this weekend.

With the help of new friends Paula and Rob, we also put up a 20ft. x 12ft. canopy this week. Then we installed plastic tarps for walls and door. Initially we will be using it for material storage. Eventually it will house the tractor and miscellaneous outdoor stuff. Great to have more covered storage finally.

Soon we will be putting on the roof and installing doors & windows. Cool bananas!
