Week 8

We had 4 rain free days this week and so progress was good again. Visible progress outside if you are driving by and looking. The behind the scene electrical and plumbing work continued and rough in is pretty much done, so if you go inside the house and look around, you can see progress there as well. This week the construction crew could get to work on the garage and the porch and things soon took shape and the house got a different look. This was the scene Wednesday morning. By 9 AM when we had to leave for a meeting, they already had most of the rafters up. The walls had been framed and put up on Tuesday.

The house as it looked on Thursday night. It is hard to see on the picture, but they made good progress on our front porch and the roof over it that had to be tied into the main roof. I think I will enjoy that porch as well. I am envisioning some white rockers, lots of flower pots and enjoying a cup of tea or coffee and a visit with friends and watching the world go by. (there would not be any mosquitos in this vision:) ).

Saturday the shinglers got to work and in spite of the heat and humidity and the constant threat of rain, they got quite a bit of the roof done.

It was an easier week for us last week. Not quite as many decisions to make, and good progress made. The kitchen got measured up for the cabinets and we will need to make the final decisions there soon. I think this next week will have more things that need deciding. It is almost time for insulation and drywall, decking and siding, not to mention deciding on paint colors, light fixtures, moldings, interior doors, vanities, etc, etc. WE WILL get these things done, and WILL continue trusting God for wisdom and strength in all of this.
