First Two Weeks of February

With the framers finished, the most visual changes, progress, etc. have finished   Next the plumber will start as well as the electrician and roofer.  They like to give the plumber and electrician time to poke their needed holes out  the roof before the shingles go on.  The plumber puts in vents for plumbing and the electrician is responsible for bath and kitchen stove vents.  Personally I started on putting up the lattice skirting under front and rear porches as well as starting construction of cedar shutters.

Allot of the trash wood from framing the house was discarded, I kept some of the best.  If a single nail is put in a board, it can't be sent back to the lumber yard and we sent ALLOT of wood back for credit.  My own little lumber yard below.


Roofing materials delivered, but up and down weather caused a few days delay



Note things are starting to green up already due to mild winter so far !



Garage doors arrived.... they are on my list of "To Dos"



I started putting on the eastern white cedar shingles on the east side of house, but will need scaffolding to finish.




Roof is starting to go on..





My lattice work.... the bottom edge will be graded and covered by future landscaping.



Back porch... the center section with the red cedar framing will be screened in with wooden screen doors on both ends.



Shutters I'm constructing out of red cedar... they will be primed and painted.



The soaking tub platform in master bath... with a nice view!  I put on the decking :)  The sub-floor is really thick stuff, 1 1/8 inch thick.



We're putting in pedestal sinks in upstairs bath... found some locally on Craig's List
