Making some progress--there is still hope....

The boarders made some good progress today.

This was already done yesterday....

The mudroom closet...done yesterday....

This is the entry from the garage. This room certainly feels smaller now that it is drywalled in. This was completed yesterday.
This is the front entryway. This was already completed yesterday.
This is in the great room. This wall is opposite the fireplace. This was done today.
This is all the scaffolding in the great room. All the drywall you see was already done prior to today.

So...your big question--what did they do today???? They actually got a fair bit done upstairs. The put up several boards in the games room area upstairs, as well as some in Jacob's room. I don't have pictures, as I would have had to climb the scaffolding, while holding the camera,a nd most likely would have fallen. The stair case is blocked off right now with 2 x 6 's and plywood, so that they can stand on that to put up the drywall.

More work on the siding...

Todd continues to work on the siding. We put in the back garage door, so Todd can side most of that side of the garage. We will be putting a vertical strip of siding in the corner, and at all edges, that will be painted white. The main colour for the house will be a dark brown.

We have a "soffit guy" stopping by the house today to take a look at it, and then get us a quote and timeframe.

We have had only one guy working on hanging drywall, so it has been going kind of slow. He is hopefully getting some helpers today, but we'll see.... Yesterday, the boarder completed the back mudroom, the mudroom closet, the mainfloor bathroom, and the front entrance. It's getting there....The taper is hopefully going to get started on Monday.

Siding!!!

Todd started on the siding last night. He made pretty good progress! We will still need to paint the siding once it is all up.

This is the framing that Todd did around the garage door openings, so that the doors could be installed.

Todd also had to frame under the two dormers in the back so that we had something to attach soffits to. He then put in the bracket for the potlight.

We also managed to get the back garage door in last night, with the help of Chris and Denise!! Thanks guys!!
