Over the last two weeks i have been more than waist deep in house. Last week was the second where my parents and i took a week off from our lives and busted through as much as possible with the house. For Mom and I this meant three FULL days of painting primer on to the back of the new siding for the house. Who knew that we could burn out the motors on airless paint sprayers so quickly : )
My father decided he wanted a partner this trip and brought up the handyman that has been working with him on projects for their house for the last few years. Together they got most of the electrical boxes wired, the water main replaced, most of the water piping placed/saudered, all of the gas mapped out and ready to go, and even a couple of windows in place! Not bad for losing four of the seven days to "mis-communication" between the contractor and reality.
We spent the weekend trying to get caught up with the framing and i'm excited to say all of the exterior walls are up. It looks tons bigger than before, which we only added 200 square feet so i guess it really is just the perception. I really love how the house is turning out and how patience my father has been with me about all of the silly details during each phase of the project.
