The final stretch

Well, the roofer has been selected. The framer believes he will be done with the roof today or tomorrow, hopefully the roofer can get started on the back of the house tomorrow.
Windows will be delivered tomorrow afternoon, and they plan on installing the back windows on Wednesday. The framer has the lift rented until Thursday, so he needs to have all of the main floor windows in the back by then, since we can't really afford to keep renting the equipment any longer than that.

There is an issue with the main entrance in that for some reason when the trusses were designed, they didn't take into consideration where the main door actually is, so the little porch is not centered over the door, and we didn't catch that. It looks very odd and very out of place, but not much we can really do about it, since it would be too expensive to redesign that area. We just hope that it doesn't look too bad when all is set and done.

You can see in this picture what I'm talking about. The left side of the opening is considerably narrower than the right side of the opening. The problem is that the roof peak for this little area is in the center, so the doorway is shifted to the left. We'll see how it actually looks once the framer finishes the roof. It might not be too bad.

Last friday they had all of the back and sides of the house sheathed. Here's a picture of the back. It looks really good, and it gives you a better feel of what the house actually looks like. Hopefully today they will get the front finished. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow if we get home with enough light to take a few.

Here's a picture from the other side of the property. Looks kewl.
