Day 94: Roofing

The roof is being put on now! The scaffolding is up for the stucco to be put on next. On the inside the electrical is being installed and the plumbing is all completed. After the electrical, the drywall will go in! We are in the process of picking out kitchen cabinets now too. LL

Day 83 - Framing Almost Done

Framing crew is almost done, a lot of odds and ends at this point. The fix is done for the front left window that was too close to the roof below it. All the roof sheathing is in place. The bldg inspector was out yesterday inspecting the shear walls, and since roof sheathing was already done he approved that as well, which was a nice bonus.

Stucco scaffolding is up. Working with SMUD to get utility moved along the fenceline so we dont have wires across the backyard... week and a half and counting waiting for the beaurocrats.

Rest of the upstairs windows are up. Plumbing mostly done, and electrical boxes and lighting cans are mostly in.

Day 78 - Windows and Scaffolding

Most of the windows were installed. Didn't install upstairs French door because waiting for drywall to be loaded in first. Roof decking mostly completed.

Stucco crew has put up their scaffolding. Plumbing drains are mostly installed and started working on water supply lines.

Day 74: Making Flooring

The house is coming along. Most the windows have been installed now and the roof should be sheathed now. Sorry I do not have any pictures of the windows installed right now. We left the construction for a week and are in Wisconsin/Michigan now. This is a tad scary leaving a construction site... In Wisconsin John's dad is making the rest of the oak flooring for the upstairs and kitchen. Here are some pictures of the work in progress at the mill. The pictures on the right is the oak planks that came out of the kiln and are ready for planing! We decided on 4" planks for the kitchen and the upstairs is 2 1/4" width. LL
