Deep Into Week 8

The changes are dramatic and exciting! Unfortunately the record heat and humidity are taking a physical toll on the crews -- 'not sure how they survive even an hour in that sun. The framers are ahead of schedule, and were able to completely construct the "simpler" areas of roof so that the roofing crew could get started. The final stretch for the framers is the central peak and front porch, and it is a challenging area, but they still plan on having it ready for the roofers by the end of the week.

Update on Parlier Developments: we could not be more satisfied with these guys. They work their tails off, it is clear they really know their business, they are pleasant and polite (and even funny!), and Larry confers with us on all sorts of things. He presents questions and options and suggestions ... exactly what you would want from somebody working on your dream home.

I was able to capture many interior photos last night, and I will hang on to those until the house is completed and I can do a "before and after" post. Yay!!

Here is a collection of odds and ends from last night:

~ Happy crews need ice, water, and after-work beers ~

~ No paper? No problem! Just use a scrap of wood ~

~ 'Found this on the back of the stairs ~

~ Looking up in the sunroom ~

~ Steps for contractors and very large chickens ~
