We have been patiently (or sometimes not so patiently) waiting for it to stop raining and dry out so we can begin the exterior stucco/lime plaster. But, in the meantime, we have been kept very busy.
This is the septic system that the excavators put in last week:
They dug 3 different trenches for the system.
In the middle of the day, our back yard was torn to bits.
And by the end of the day it was smoothed all back out again.
Those excavators are amazing!
This is the front wall in the master suite. We will insulate where the wood is and create some built in storage areas under the windows.
Here Kenny is beginning the process of cutting felt paper and fiberglass meshing to go over all the exterior, exposed wood... getting ready for the lime.
Jesse and the weed-whacker.
Making everything smooth and even.
Rachel working her magic with the nail gun.
Kenny spreading out the loose straw. It may have gotten a little hot sitting in a pile. Smoking... no exaggeration!
Jesse working on the second floor porch mahogany flooring.
Oops. When they dropped off the stucco, they may have had a little run in with the house. That hurts.
Jesse's sweet finished porch floor.
He also just about finished the front pent roof shingling.
Mike built this awesome barrel ceiling that will separate the master bed from the master bath.
They also spent time using that pink, rigid insulation for the ceiling in the main living area.
Working in the basement.
Ben working on the shingles.
Hopefully we will be able to begin the lime plaster this week.
Cross your fingers we don't have another earthquake, hurricane or massive flood!
