Stuart Construction - Week 16

Week 16 ~ March 4-10, 2013

More huge visual changes happening at our place this week, both inside and out!

The guys finally started dry-walling this week!  It's crazy to see the walls becoming a solid wall instead of the framed wall you can see through.  It's also nice to see what the house will look like - the shape of the ceiling, the coves in the walls, things like that.  So here are shots from the beginning of the week through the end of the week.

They drywalled the garage, unexpected surprise for us!

 Perhaps more exciting than them drywalling the house, they began construction on the shop!  The city likes to take their time in giving permits, so we had to wait 28 days before finally getting the permit to build the shop.

We got some much needed snow for the drought conditions, but we wish the snow had held off a little longer.  We have lucked out with the weather, and I really shouldn't complain, but since our lot is complete dirt, the second the snow melts, our lot becomes the biggest mud pit!  The delivery guy came by after the lot had defrosted for the day and proceeded to get his semi-truck stuck in the back yard!  Now we have some lovely ruts that the birds like to use as a bird bath.  Thank goodness they haven't done the final grading yet, otherwise the delivery guy would have gotten an earful from me!

Digging the holes for the poles

 Don't we look oh so lovely in our work clothes measuring the depth of the holes?!

 B in his man zone.  He is soooo excited about his shop.  

 Here's where they ended for the week.  We had another small snow storm come through that delayed them a bit. Not gonna lie, I was TOTALLY freaked when I saw just the sides put up.  It looked huge and way too close to the house.  B assures me that it is 120 feet away from the house, and that is not too close at all - not that I can do anything about it now!  I got a little more comfortable when I saw the roof trusses up, it doesn't look as huge as it first did.  So excited for B....this is one of the reasons we moved to more space.  We should NEVER run out of storage space!
