Update #7

On Memorial Day when we got home from Monroe, my dad came over with the backhoe to help smooth out some of the dirt. Unfortunately the ground was too wet from all the rain that we got over the weekend, so he could only work from the road. So they still had to move some of the dirt by hand with shovels.

Tuesday, the framers put up the soffet and facia on the front and driveway sides of the addition, added some more siding, and framed up around the patio side windows. Craig bought some sod to put around the catch basins.

Wednesday, the framers finished putting the soffet and facia on the backside and patio side, added more siding, hung the OSB under the carport. They also started removing stuff around the window to work on the interior stairs.

Thursday, the framers finished up the siding and started building the landing area for the exterior stairs. Unfortunately, the rain came and they had to leave early. Also with all of the rain on Friday, they were unable to come out as well.

The plumber was able to come out this week and finish up roughing in the plumbing upstairs and installing the new water heater.

Saturday some of the framing crew came out and worked some more on the exterior stairs.


This coming week the framers should finish up. They had planned to start on the interior stairs on Friday, but the rain changed their plans. It will be exciting once both sets of stairs go up. Then I can actually go upstairs and look around. Craig let Luke & Cameron go up the ladder on Saturday to look around.
