We had fun showing it last night to PJ and Elizabeth Strong. The kids had fun just running around yelling and stomping. I am excited for them to have a house and a yard to play in. It will be great to expand!

Moving along - Mar 28th
No pictures, nothing much different that can be shown in a picture. But they have done most of the electrical and we have a fireplace. The shingles are sitting on the top of our roof waiting to be done. Plus the forms for the front porch are there. We'll see what gets done next week.

The ROOF is on! Tyvek? - Mar 21st
For the past week and a half we've forgotten to bring our camera to our house. Jared finally remembered today! Our roof was on last week but this week it's been kind of slow. We do have a fireplace now and I know they are planning to pour our porches this week. Things seem to move a bit slower now that the outside is mostly done (or so I've been told). Hopefully ours will keep moving smoothly.
DuPont™ Tyvek® HomeWrap® has the optimum balance of properties for superior performance against the elements and the competition. When using Tyvek® HomeWrap® you can be assured you are using the brand leader in weather resistant barriers.
A weather resistant barrier is a building's main protection against the damaging effects of the elements. A funtioning barrier must include four basic properties:
It must have a high level of AIR RESISTANCE - to help prevent drafts, reduce energy bills and resist the flow of moisture laden air through wall cavities.
It must have a high level of WATER RESISTANCE - to help protect the wall cavity from water that gets behind the cladding.
It must have moderate to high VAPOR PERMEABILITY - to promote drying in wall systems.
It must be DURABLE - to withstand the rigors of the construction site and continue to perform once construction is completed.
The Future Exterior Colors
Our siding is grey and the trim is a white cream. The Brick is called Old Madrid.
The Framing Continues - Mar 11th
