Ready for Drywall



Been busy finishing all the rough trades (electrical, plumbing, etc). I then did the insulation as quickly as I could, that was a nightmare.

but now it is all done and ready for drywall.

Heading Inside



Well, since we have almost completed the outside (windows, siding, and paint etc), we decided to move inside and start the rough trades. Here are pictures of inside the addition and internal wall that will be removed when it is all finished. As you can see from the inside picture, the joys of building involve tools etc spread throughout the entire house. Amy loves it!!!

Exterior Paint



We finally made it to painting the outside of the addition.

I borrowed a sprayer from the Skeltons and shot the whole thing in about 2 hours. Then put about 2 hours of rolling paint for trim. Amy is really proud of how well the tie-in to the existing house looks (she made me rip off the way I did it and re-do it all before I could paint).

Faustos Roofing


We have a roof! Finally got the sheathing signed off and in an amazingly short amount of time, the roof just appeared. And by the look of the clouds not a minute too soon.

Ready for the Roof


We have put alot of work in the past few weeks trying to beat the monsoons coming. We failed. But, my pre-roof inspection is tomorrow, and the roofer comes Tuesday to stop the rain from entering our dining room!

If the roof gets put on Tuesday, we should have the door and windows in this week also.
