fire in the hole!

Check it out! If they ever insulate and put drywall up and paint and finish the wiring and paint and do the trim out and turn the power on and hook up the gas, we'll have a fire place!



And there's the chimney vent thingy. Oh...and this is the only side of the house that's finished (with the siding and roof and all). The guy was supposed to finish the siding today...but it's raining. I predict it'll be sometime next week before he gets back over there. Which will make the framing inspection sometime the next week. Which means that I'll be lucky to be in this house by Christmas 2008. (do I sound a bit weary? 'cause I'm a bit weary...)

Nothing got done over the weekend. In the workers' defense...it was raining. I was a bit disappointed when I got home yesterday and found the house the same as it was before.

Hmmm.....

metallic

Well they finally started my roof! Behold...the roof on my screened porch (that's as far as they got today). You can't tell in the picture...but it's a nice metallic chocolate color. I can't wait to see the whole house done! Oh - I also found out that if you have a metal roof, you get a $500 tax credit every year. Something to keep in mind for 2007.

And they delivered my front door. They'll install it long enough to get the framing inspection...then I'm gonna see if they'll finish it at work. It'll be a cinnamon color. Fred is already freaking out about someone breaking through it. I say let 'em. There's a 9mm hollow point waiting for them on the other side.
