Soffit work...

There's electrical and plumbing work going on too, but it doesn't make for very interesting photos, so I'll post the ones that show the lovely job the guys are doing with the soffits:

It's really raining now, so I'm not sure what other work they'll get done today. Guess we'll see later on this afternoon :)

Windows, strapping and a deck, oh my...

Things are moving right along. Most of the windows were delivered last week (1 was damaged, the other somehow didn't make it on the truck). And our bedroom window (the one over the front door) won't be installed until after the drywall has been passed through it:

The deck is done as well!!! Yay - and it's gorgeous. We just LOVE it:

And yesterday they started installing the strapping, which goes under the siding:

And finally, here is Sean with the new picnic table, the one we picked up at the Scouts sale:

It just needs a good scrubbing and some stain.

More soon!

Framing - Day 11...deck building continues...

The temporary decking is in place, enough for them to use to frame the top floor of the house. They also started on the floor joists for the master bedroom. Piccies below:

and, they framed the doorway for the basement staircase:

They're working in the rain today! I do feel bad for them - it's slowed right down for now, let's hope it stops for the afternoon.

Framing - Day 10...

Today the guys concentrated on starting our decks, front and back. They'll need them, especially the back one in order to complete the upper floor framing and the rafters. Here's what it looked like about 6:20 this evening:

As you can see, our weather has changed slightly and they ended up working in the rain. Fortunately, it didn't last too long.

In other house news, we received the quote for the kitchen/main floor bathroom cabinets today and were quite happy with it :) Yay! Measurements will be taken this week. It's all so exciting!!!!
