Much Progress = Gigantic Smiles

A lot has taken place on the house since I last blogged. In addition, we took a quick but lovely and peaceful trip to Tennessee to visit family but that's for another post.

When we left off last time our home 

build looked pretty much like the below pic.  

It went from that to this...

...and this.

Not the best photo but the best I could 

do with a bunch of workers out front.

From there we moved to protective plastic on the roof.

And onto the real excitement--a shingled roof!

Woo-hoo!

As soon as that was completed, the

plumbing was done and electricity too.

The dining room sliding glass door was in place as well!

This is where we took a trip to Tennessee.

After being gone for six days, we were beyond 

delighted at what we found when we returned. 

 For one, scaffolding had been erected on the 

front of the house which means they're preparing

 to start on the stucco and flagstone facade.  

Drywall was stacked in various rooms inside the house.

The master bedroom for one...

...And the living area below.

But look closer.

Behind the stack of drywall, the big 

sliding glass doors have been installed.

There's the sliding doors on the left, and the 

dining room sliders on the right.

 

The four glass panels in the living room door slide 

all the way into the wall so that the living area 

can be completely opened up to the outside patio. 

We are both very excited about those doors!

I'll close this post with a drone pic 

that Geo took of us standing in the garage.

On Tuesday, October 5th (4 days from now), we have an appointment with our Superintendent to do the pre-drywall walk through.  Once that's done, they'll insulate, then it'll be inspected by the Energy Efficiency officials.  I don't know who they are but they sound very important!  Once that's done, the drywall will go up.    

The outside stucco and flagstone can start at any time.  We hope it's tomorrow! 😁

Gigantic Smiles,

Correction~~Geo says it's stone, not flagstone on the outside of the house as I mentioned above.  That made me curious so I referred to our paperwork for the exact name:  It's a stone called White Austin Chalk.
