We are almost "in" as they say in the construction world- which means that we have walls and a roof. That really means about 1/3 (at best) of the way to a finished home.
As I have been taking on some of the framing, elbows allowing( pneumatic nail guns are brutal to the body) we are getting all of the walls in place as well as out ROOF! We used a new type of roof underlayment- it's plastic like rather than tar paper- holds up better. Just in time, as the weather is showing us a preview of what is to come- rain, some colder days and the beginning of Fall.
If our bodies hold up a few more months we will be well on our way into a new home. Good thing for that hot tub..
Pics of the "new house" as we don't have a good name for it yet.

Looking beautiful, and if you would plant some pine trees you may call it Villa Pinabete !
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Villa Christiana, awaiting next stage and photos. H.
