Framers gone; Electricians hard at work.

The framers have pretty much wrapped up. They have moved on to another job while we wait for a few materials to show up. It feels weird not seeing them every morning. They are like family now ::sniff::. At least it means progress is being made, and we are on to the next phase of the project.

The exterior of the house is all done except for a bit of siding, stone work, a couple doors, and gutters. We are underway with electrical rough ins which should be complete by next week. I am working on finding somebody to do our gas plumbing. I also need to start on all of the low-voltage work. Once that is complete, we can get our inspection then move on to insulation and drywall. I feel like now it's a sprint to the finish, although I know in my head that we have a long way to go.

Shop exterior done. Just need to paint the door, and fascia around the roof line and build a sliding barn door.

Front of house. The area with the white house wrap will be covered in ledge stone at the end of this month.

Back of house. The white wrap on the 2nd floor will be covered with siding. The white wrap on the 1st floor is the back side of our fireplace and will be covered with ledge stone. The deck framing is complete, but we are waiting for the decking boards to come in to finish up the deck.
