Wed we saw the siding going up! Along with the shingles.
The debris pile was going away!! They brought in some big trucks & big equipment to do the job. I'm glad Dad hired it out. It was just too much for him to tackle on his own. When I was there the guy said it had been 2 loads of each truck & 2 of the trailer - 6 loads! And they weren't even done!
SNOWY SATURDAY!!! The first snow of the year! We found a cute little snowman on the deck built by one of the construction guys.
The siding is done & ready for paint. The shingles will need to be painted this year, the siding can wait until spring. I'm working on colors - dark brown for the body & lambswool (a neutral) to match the window framing for the trim & possibly shingles. I had thought it should all be dark brown but have since changed my mind.
The roof was going up while we were there - its color is MUCH better than I'd thought it would be. Dad did a good job picking it. I was leaning towards a darker green, but this one looks great.
The electrician was out on Thurs & Friday - he'd gotten a lot of work done! We now have a meter. . .
Lighting boxes for the light fixtures & fans - this is the chandelier & ceiling fan that will hang in the living area.
The can lights for the kitchen - Dad was surprised it takes so many. Wait till he sees what will happen in the basement storage!
Electrical boxes are in and so are the vents for the heating system!
Here's our fabulous new furnace! What a luxury to have central heat - it will really beat those old baseboards. All Season's has done a great job!
A quick look at the rest of the storage - lots of duct work siting around, the locks for the doors, & just general stuff needed for construction.
