Insulation & Sliding Glass Door

Looks like the pink insulation has been completed.  The sliding glass door and front window are in!  Guess they'll be doing the low voltage wiring next.

Structural Orientation

We had our Structural Orientation today.  Learned some "nice" stuff about our house that will come handy once we settle into the new home!

The House Inspector

We stopped by today to look at our new home and found the State Inspector roaming about inspecting the house!  Another milestone?

Wrapping the House

Today they are wrapping the house!  Our house and the neighbor house.  It is very interesting to watch the onion being wrapped instead of peeled by layers!

Today They Are Laying Plastic Over the Roof Sheathing

Plastic sheets?  I thought tar paper or felt was used.  I looked it up on the Internet and it seems the new way is to use "plastic" sheets?  Huhma, huhma, huhma...interesting.  There is a site called 4specs.com - Your Architectural Library for Specified Products that got my attention.

Moisture barrier?

The neighbor two houses down is being roofed.  Seems they are laying traditional tar paper over the plastic sheets...  We shall see what happens on ourʻs.

Nampa Festival of Arts

Today we went to the Nampa Festival of Arts.  I bought a dreamcatcher!  Pretty isn't it?

Roof Plywood Up

Wow!  Didnʻt visit the new house for one day and today, the roof plywood has been completed.  Canʻt believe how beautiful it is.  Everyday it looks more and more like home.

Back Roof Trusses

Today we watched the back roof trusses being installed.  A crane would pick a truss up and install place it down (gently) and the guys on the roof would nail it down!  Like watching a well choreographed ballet.  I took some movies that I think we should set to some really nice symphony music.

Roof Trusses

Well, some progress today.  They got some of the roof trusses up.  Again, none of the workers were around so I walked to the back of the house to see what the patio and the back of the house looked like.  My shoes were so dusty, I had to clean it a little before I could even think about getting back into the car!

Framing Continuing

For some reason no one was at the construction sites when we went at a little after noon.  Some of the plywood walls are up.  We'll go tomorrow to see what else they are doing.

Sub-flooring & Framing

Woohoo!  The sub-flooring is in and they started framing the house!
