Building: Take Two

Here is your weekly House Building update.

I came home on Thursday and the boys had finished the second punch out.  They even put the kitchen table in!  This is going to be the dining area.  The big open window will face west and right outside is a huge lilac bush.  It will be beautiful in the spring.

This is the window seat punch out that was in the blog last week.  We are finally finishing it up.  PJ and I put the roof on Thursday and Kent finished up the siding on Friday.  Eventually, everything will be resided, but the T-111 will hold up for now.

The deck is finished to the point where we can stand on it to put in the windows.  We bought rough cut wood from a local miller.  It is some beautiful oak.  Can't wait to sand it down, and show off the finish.


Here we are just getting started.



Kent in action!


Here the deck is finished, and two of the windows are in.  This is a south facing wall, so we selected these windows to let in southern light.  We will put a short roof over the windows to shade the house in the summer.  But wintertime; let in the light.  

We still need a sliding glass door for the gaping hole there.  Baby steps...


PJ in action.  The glasses are good, young man, but where is your ear protection??!? (Kent is always on us about that.)
