December, week 2

There's been a lot of progress at the house this week. Max worked some late nights with his hard working and very reliable hired hand Karl. They were busy putting up insulation on the interior and furring strips on the outside walls. They've managed to stay ahead of the contractors...just barely. The whole interior is now insulated and the living room in this picture is already covered with drywall!


The ceiling vapor barrier went in at the end of the week. The drywallers have already covered the entire upstairs ceiling and have about half the walls done too. They work fast!

Friends Franz, Matt, and Keith helped move the scaffolding one last time last weekend so the siding crew could put up their own lift system. The siding on this side of the house was finished this afternoon. There was too much activity at the house today, and too much dust flying inside to get any new pics. We'll take advantage of the contractor rest day tomorrow and get some more current photos to post. We're really encouraged by all this progress and can almost see the light at the end of the construction loan!
