 Another great week of weather, the addition is almost completely closed in. Rough in plumbing, heating and wiring scheduled for this week, along with the completion of the roof.  We are now into Thanksgiving week and work is scheduled right along. 

Up on the Roof

Consumer's Power working with the "Big" wires.

Truck that delivered trusses, sign says it all.

Trusses take up most of the yard.

Crew working on trusses

Placing the trusses one by one, a slow and particular process.

This day was out of the ordinary, keeping neighbors on the watch.

Another shot of wood in the air.

Tuesday, Consumers Power arrived to run our electricity underground, the electrician chose that day to upgrade our power.  We were without power for part of the day, no biggy. Wednesday the trusses were delivered.  It is Mid November, yet the weather doesn't even require a jacket during the day.  This week the crew put up the trusses and roof.  Friday the felt went on the roof and the shingles will go on sometime next week.  Monday morning will be a vacation day as deer hunting season begins. The weather forecast is favorable for outside work this week and hopefully a bit into next.  The crew will be happy to get to inside work very soon.

There's a CCHHHIIILLLL out there.

Welcome to the Fishbowl.

Pine Tree

Lots of action this week.  The Crew are trying to get the house all framed in and roofed while the weather is good.  Consumers should be here on Tuesday, trusses up on Wednesday and roof soon after.

Hello Walls

The crew wasted little time with the floor joists.

Their workroom (aka garage) offered shelter from the fierce winds.

Sub-floor allows all of us to walk the space.

The first walls go up, our project supervisor Del, is in green;-)

The crew put in Saturday work to guard against weather issues.

Another load delivered to Ottawa Drive.

The rooms are taking shape, Mike's Study on left, porch on right.

Our Mud closet, hope it's big enough, haha.

The work continues in earnest this week. We have been blessed with fine weather.  It would be lovely to get the roof on within the next week and a half.  The crew is currently getting the walls framed in, and waiting on Consumers to run the power underground.  Then the rafters will be delivered and we will have a true visual of what this addition will look like.  We ordered the windows last week and finalized flooring decisions.  The Pups love the new space, we let them loose on the floor. Holly doesn't leave, but sniffs each and every crack and crevice.  Buddy sniffs a bit but not with the fever that a terrier does.  The weather forecast looks great for the rest of the week, hopefully the momentum continues. Hope everyone is enjoying this photo journal. On the home front, Mike is busy with boys basketball and I am busy making surprises for my dear ones for the holidays.
