I am about a week behind in taking and posting pictures. Thanksgiving and a visit from John, Kelly and Matt got in the way. Plus the weather wasn’t the greatest, but the Mike and his crew kept on working.
The house is completely enclosed now. Well the garage doors still have to be put on. This next week I will get some pictures taken of the changes.
This week shows that all the windows are in and you can read about more progress in the captions. Mike and his crew are beginning to put siding on, the bang doors are installed, some soffits have been installed and decorative trim around the windows is being added. Those pictures will come next week.
This this the first time there are pictures of the loft. The stairs are finally in so we could walk up there. We decided to put in a loft or really a separate apartment. The third garage will have private access and the loft is self-contained with it’s own heating/cooling system and other utilities. For now, we won’t be finishing it. Jessica may use it as an office someday or perhaps for guests or domestic help.
