It was a nice break over the holidays, but now we are starting to pick up speed again. It is great to have Sean back and Scott started this week.
The beam got lifted to support the screen porch and the floor is almost totally laid. The deck space underneath will be great for entertaining.
Last week we lifted the trusses onto the garage. We could have really used someone with more muscle than I have, but they guys did great. A tough day, although the weather has been very mild. The next couple of days were spent sheeting and shingling the roof.
A bit of extra time needed to be spent joining the main house to the garage since the trusses didn't come exactly as ordered. Good thing that Fred and Sean have the skill to hand frame and make it all work out. The Township was out on Thursday and passed the framing with only a few minor adjustments.
Bob Clarke was out for a visit and we put him to work helping install the top window and bedroom sliding door. Last time he comes out, I'm sure! It was a nice surprise to see him and go to his cottage for dinner.
The plumbing and electrical are pretty much roughed in and the insulation is started. We've been working with Tim from First Choice Kitchens to get the kitchen layout and cupboards picked out. This will be a different look for Fred, but I'm excited to see it all come together.
A home morning for me to get caught up in paperwork and get prices. A lot of things to price, order and nail down.
