Childproofing

Today they moved the electrical outlets and switches out of the reach of children and most adults.

Doors

We got our first two doors today. The front door does not have any windows in it. We don't want the lower door to be mistaken for the front door by our friends.
The door in the back has windows. This is the view I wanted to show yesterday. It shows the vertical boards that were installed. They may start on our septic system next week.

New faucet

They put on more of the vertical strips that make the bottom look complete. The view that showed more of the work was out of focus. You can see the faucet on the back of our house.
We now have a water faucet on the front of the house. I think it was installed today. I noticed it today. It is between the front door and the small garage door.

Very ventilating

They installed more vents today. With all the vents that we will have, we won't have to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning in our garages.
I am told we are waiting for a permit for our new septic system. Once they install the new septic system, they can decommission our old septic tank which is next to the back porch. Once the old septic tank is decommissioned, they can build our back porch. Once our back porch is built, they can remove our temporary front steps and install our front porch.

Windows installed

They installed the windows today. You can see all the windows in the lower section from this angle. Some of you may not know the layout of the house. The area to the left is the family room. We use to call our family room a Rec Room when I was growing up. I'm not sure if it was a Rec Room (short for Recreation Room) or a Wreck Room (named after the way we left it). The area in the middle is the dining area. The small window is in the "blue" bathroom. The room to the far right is the spare bedroom. The two side-by-side windows under the spare bedroom are in the large garage (the small garage doesn't have any windows).
I don't think I catch everything they do every day. Some days I will notice something and wonder when they did it.

Work Continues

They continued putting on the strips of painted wood that decorate the lower half of the house.
They also added some vent holes from the garage area in the front of the house to the walk space (a crawl space you can walk through) in the back of the house. We have to let the flood go through the house. If you look hard you can see the vapor barrier on the ground in the walk space.
I enjoyed my birthday today.

Windows

They delivered the windows today. They are in the small garage.
They also put up the framing and decorative pieces around the garage doors. You can see the rigging they used to cut pieces to length. They used the large garage to get out of the rain. They also used the window opening.
This is the small garage. The windows are out of sight along the wall to the right.
They also put decorative pieces on the side of the house.
