So today was an exciting milestone, especially with rainy weather heading our way. The roof is now 100% complete! If you haven't been through a major construction process in the Northwest you really can't feel the importance of this! Let's put it this way. A couple of weeks ago we had a pretty heavy rain shower and I woke up in the middle of the night, from a sound sleep, which is a rare thing, and then couldn't get back to sleep. I heard every rain drop and imagined it soaking all the beams and framing inside the house. We have had a great summer for construction and I have been spoiled. We only got the place wet a few times and it is nice to know that it is no longer an issue to worry about.
The siding is now going on and the in floor heating and plumbing are both roughed in. Next up is the electrical rough in and the gas line work. I am trying to push things along so we can be doing the drywall sooner than later :-)
As a side note, school has started again around here which means lots of people walking by the jobsite since we live three blocks from a school. It's nice to hear all the positive comments and the framing crew has been commenting on all the house tours I have been giving :-) Hopefully one of those will lead to more design and construction work!
