Go outside and play

This week, it was all about the outside..... The boys started on monday morning putting up the siding. They worked (mostly) all week going around the house and putting up the lower half of the siding. The final 2 windows were installed, and they also put in the dog kennel door, and finally, on friday, started working on the front door. (didn't finish, though, it WAS friday, after all). They said they'd be back today to put up the big gable ends and possibly finish the front door. We'll see. It IS saturday after all......

On Tuesday, the bobcat arrived to dig the utility trenches.....

Wed was pretty exciting here, and a slow day at the city. I came home to find 6 different contractors, and pretty much every utility truck the city owns, all working on our water meter. Some of them got the meter installed (most of them watched), and they were off! The trenches were completed and, for the most part, covered up on friday.

The biggest event this week?

The green GO sticker on the electrical. Passed inspection, as well as the mechanical, framing and plumbing (after one tiny adjustment). This give us the green light to sheetrock. They'll be here on tuesday to start. NOW, it starts to get exciting. We'll be doing some more furniture shopping this weekend. LOVE this chair and MUST have it. Next week......SHEETROCK!!! Front door, utilities (?), more siding, and possible a garage door.
