The Eves Are Painted

The Last week has been very, very busy. The framers finished up towards the beginning of last week. Then it was my turn to start on the painting. Since I signed on to do that part. It took the rest of the week to get the caulking done. I was sure glad to get that done and especially happy for the help I had. Thank you Dad, Grand Pa, and Steve for all of your help.

Once the caulking was done it was time to start the painting. Our first objective is to get the eves, soffits, and gutterboards painted so the roofers can get started on installing the shingles. Of coarse it rained all last weekend, preventing me from getting any painting done. The roofers were supposed to start on Monday, we put them off 3 days, so now they will start on Wednesday or Thursday.

Last night We finished up spraying the eves, soffits, and gutterboards. It sure goes a lot faster than the caulking and having the airless sprayer is a big help as well as the bucket truck.

Also the electricians have started on the house and will probably be done by the end of the week. The septic has been put in. The well was drilled, they said we had a great well, enough water for the whole neighborhood. I think he said he drilled about 100 feet down.

Here are some photos of the progress.












Here is Griff stuck in the mud.





Here is dad painting the dormer over the garage. The picture does not really do it justice. That roof is pretty darn steep.
