It's a Wrap!

The window trim is up, the house is wrapped, and the siding is going up. This is not a recent picture. I haven't been able to make it out there since last Friday, but I hear that the siding is almost or may even be completely finished. Now it just needs to be painted. I think the only major thing that's left on the outside is the soffits, and then it's on to the inside to begin work in there - pretty exciting!

Some of the Work Crew

Here's the head honcho - busy as usual. You should see how easy he makes it look to hammer those nails in the wall! Puts me to shame, that's for sure.

My hubby - such a stud! I'm sure he'll be a happy camper if he never sees another hurricane clip for as long as he lives.

Here's Mom - always looking good no matter how hard she's working! I hope baby gets those good Conder genes!

He was too busy working to get a head shot, but here's Dad working on hurricane clips - you have to have so many of those things! But it's worth it because I know they could come in handy one day.

Grandpa worked so hard he decided he needed a two week vacation at the beach! I'm sure there will be plenty of painting for him to do when he gets back.

House Update

It's been a while since I've updated everyone on how the homebuilding is going. We've now got the complete roof, the rough in electrical and plumbing, and we're working on getting the A/C roughed in. All the trim is up and the siding is going up too. It's almost time for our next inspection and loan draw. I don't know what comes next, other than painting the exterior. We went ahead and bought a five gallon bucket of the 'Mother Nature' green that we painted the shed. I still have hesitations about painting the house green in a field full of green grass, but I think it will look really good, especially once we add some color around the house with our landscaping. I'm hoping what they say isn't true about how if you live with a mechanic your car's never running, when you live with a plumber there's always a pipe leaking, and so on and so forth. Otherwise, we'll never have any landscaping!
