Where we are now

We spent most of this weekend packing, so we didn't get to the site much. We have just a few weeks left to go before the last one, where we start moving boxes into the moving van. That last week, we will be sleeping on mattresses and in sleeping bags, eating a lot of take-out and quick meals, and dressing out of luggage. But for now, we're still partly normal, except for the array of boxes that is slowly growing in depth and height.

But the house: last week progressed wonderfully. By Friday afternoon, almost all of the roof decking was done. The only portion left was above the garage and those parts of the second floor abutting the garage: Brittany's closet and Karen's closet. The trusses were placed over the sunroom, and the decking was not yet done there, too. I estimated 75% of the decking was done. I don't know what the plan for this week is, but if the roofers come, they should be able to make a good dent in the shingling. There is supposed to be inclement weather on Wednesday, but things can change.

We have not been back into the basement, so we don't know if they finished the framing down there. AS far as we can tell, they stopped that to do the roof, so I would guess there are still a few walls left to frame up.

We have not gotten an estimate for the possible shed/outbuilding, so that is on hold for now. I think the next big step, aside from the roofing, will be a walk-through with someone - the electrician, perhaps.
