Siding and Piles

We got rid of one pile and created another.

Since the framer finished his work, we got all of the unused lumber together and put it on our RV parking. The lumber company came by on Monday the April 7 and picked it up. We will get a refund from them for our left over lumber.

The house also got its siding in the last couple weeks. They started installing the siding on the 4th. It took a little over a week for the installation portion to be complete. They finished up last Monday.

By Wednesday the painters had started in on the exterior.

After the first day of painting, we were a little worried that it looked too yellow. By the time it finished drying, and the trim was painted, the house looked a bit less yellow.
The siding company will be hauling off their pile in the next few days.

The only things left for the exterior are to add a concrete step out the front and back door, and for the lighting to be installed.

The interior has been moving along as well. The drywall is complete. For painting, we hired painters to paint all of the ceilings, the stairwell area and the main area downstairs. Ohm's aunt is in charge of painting the rest. The painters finished their portion on Friday. We now have enough complete for the finish carpenter to start his work tomorrow morning.

Drywalling begins

It was quite the happening day today. The drywallers came today and started installing drywall. They should be finished tomorrow with the nailing and we will get the drywall nailing inspection on Friday.

We also had someone come by to haul away our trash pile. It took one and a half truck loads for them to haul it away.

When Ohm's mom stopped by the rental house for lunch, she got word that the siding materials would be delivered in the afternoon, and work on the siding will start tomorrow. To get ready for this, Ohm's dad came home early and removed a couple sections of fence and a trellis that were attached to the house.
We stayed at the house late into the evening getting Ohm's room ready for retexturing and the new windows in the old bedrooms ready for the drywall surround, which will also occur tomorrow.

It feels like we're closing in on the finish line!
