Siding is complete

I forgot to post this pic yesterday. The siding is complete. The front just needs a bit of metal roofing, after the siding gets painted (hopefully next week). Also, after the painting is complete, the stone masons will come out and hang the stone veneer across the bottom of the front of the house.

Garage Steps and Siding...

Yesterday, the garage steps were made and installed. The siding guys finished up the right side of the house, and started on the front. They are going to finish the front today. The dry wallers should be sanding today, and the trim guys should be hanging trim and interior doors tomorrow. Painters are still on for Saturday to prime.

More Siding...

On Friday, the siding crew worked on the back of the house. They finished up the screened porch siding yesterday. On Monday, they'll start on the right side of the house. This morning, Chris and 2 guys are installing the cabinets for the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and craft room. Can't wait to see them!! Pics to follow...

1 side done, 3 more to go...

The siding guys finished up the 1st side yesterday. Depending on the weather (we're forecasted to get rain today), they hope to work some today. Also, the drywall crew is coming out this morning to hang the drywall. Chris says it should only take a half day to hang it, and then about 3-4 days to tape, mud, and sand it. I cannot wait to see the house later today with drywall up!! Many pics to come asap!!

Siding, Insulation, and Concrete

Another busy Monday at the house! The siding crew came out and started putting up the siding. It is primed at the factory, and will be painted once it is all hung/caulked, etc. The siding is a type of fiber cement, similar to what we used with our last house. The concrete guys came out and poured the floor for the main garage, as well as the front "porch". It's really too small to be called a porch, but it'll be the landing from the front door, leading down some slate/stone steps to a sidewalk. And the insulators came out and hung the batting/traditional batting. We are on for an insulation inspection tomorrow, and the dry wallers are on stand-by - ready to come hang drywall asap. We are hoping to have the base cabinets installed in the kitchen on Saturday, so that on Monday, the granite company can come out and get a template for our granite slab. It's getting there...slowly, but surely...
