Hey everybody,
Ok, I'm sorry about the lack of updates, specifically pics. So here's the latest progress...

Now that the sheet and shear is passed, it was time to start cutting holes in that new roof and shear walls!...

The roofer called it an early day. His 'helper' was pretty warn out!

And back outside to the trenching for the electric, phone, gas and water to the house. This should have taken half a day with a trencher. Well after an hour and a half and me with a pulled back, we had gone a total of 3 FEET! So, it was off to rent bigger equipment, a small excavator!

And after two days and a full night of soaking the trench this is all the progress!

We need to finish digging that trench to depth and then dig TWO more!



Ok, more posts as we have more progress.


:cheers:

Oh, and the doors and windows that were supposed to be delivered next week are going to be there today! So, I have to run up the hill to receive them. Pics later.

lol, well I did when we picked it up. But it was a toy, so we rented a jackhammer to break up the trench once we had the line scratched. And after a full day of running both, we still didn't have the first of three trenches done! So, now it's time to go big! Tuesday we have a rental backhoe comming.

That house looks like it's going to be a lovely home. It will be nice when you are all settled and you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Yeah, every day I find more and more things that I'm 'looking forward to'... little things, like having a kitchen that has a place for all the stuff.
