Progress as promised...

The house is framed. Roofing is making headway in one sense though luckily, not in another. Yesterday I was hit by a falling shingle. As I stepped out the front door, I felt particles falling and lifted my hand. The shingle glanced off my hand. It scraped my knuckles, but missed my head. Of course, my hair would have cushioned a blow, but I’m grateful it avoided my face and glasses.

Windows and door should be installed soon. I had a walk-through with HVAC and electrician sub-contractors. Electrical and plumbing are getting roughed in. House wrap is installed over the sides in preparation for Hardi-plank siding.

This is quite the hive of activity with contractors in and out & up and down as they remove HVAC from attic; others are removing and placing roof shingles; electricians in the back; and ongoing framing. It gives me chills, although that’s partly the open door with people in and out.
