end of week 16

I feel like we got quite a bit accomplished this week.

House #1 still needs electric. Their rock is looking awesome.

House # 2 got the 2 windows they were missing, so now they are all set! They are already getting siding, insulation and sheetrocking done! Their rock is slowly coming along.

House # 3 (OUR HOUSE) - we had a few windows delivered the same time as everyone else, but they only had 4, and one of them wasn't even the right window - so we are STILL missing 4 windows.
They blew in the insulation and our sheetrock was also delivered - I am both happy and unhappy about that since the windows aren't in. Our windows are supposed to be rush ordered, but they won't get here until Wed (right before Christmas, and we aren't working then) so I am thinking about just coving the 4 open holes with some plastic, because I don't want stuff getting wet or moldy inside my house. It will be awesome to get our sheetrock on, though!

House #4 got all their windows and are putting them in.
Houses 2, 3 and 4 have all passed inspection too!

House #5 got their doors and windows.

House #6 finally got their roof. Some of it was done earlier in the week, so they started the drip edge and the plastic cover. They should be finishing that today (they couldn't get on it this morning, because the frost was too thick and slick. but the sun is coming out now.) I started to help shovel out the snow. They had 4 feet inside, but it was light and fluffy. The hard part was the inch of solid ice under that.
They have doors and windows going in!

Stick with it-- sounds a little frustrating to see some progress on other houses, but not yours!!
