I better get out the Halloween decorations


They put in insulation this week.

We got a lovely septic tank.

The driveway, sidewalk and porch have been framed up for concrete.



And all the drywall is up. It really looks like a house now. Trick or treat here we come!!!

It's starting to look like a house

I am beginning to think we might be in by Halloween at this rate!!!

Friday they poured the basement floor and the garage floor. And then if rained for the first time in months on Saturday.

I hope this is the last time I ever see water in my basement!!!
Monday they framed out all the exterior and interior walls. You can actually see where the rooms are going to be.
Today they put up the trusses and some of the plywood for the roof and finished the interior framing.




They also put up our covered back porch!!! Yipee!!! I am going to enjoy sitting out there in the evening.



I think the roof will be done by the end of the week.

Stacy, I added a link to a country living website I think you might like. You can get the magazine for free.
