Most of the wiring

Most of the wiring was in place last night. One guy was working on the siding all by himself, it was getting late and I think he was about to pack it up for the day. There are still some wet spots on the floor in a few places, but I don't think they will be hard to dry out. We have some very good weather forecast for the next few days, too.

Furnace and electric outlet boxes

They have started putting on the siding already! That will not be the finished color. They put all the siding up in that neutral color and then they paint it. We need to make a decision on the siding colors really soon.

Inside, we found the furnace in place and the first step in electrical wiring--the outlet boxes, the switch boxes and some receptacles for lighting fixtures.

The roof is now completely sealed and there are very few wet spots inside now.

Again, if you click on this picture you open my Picassa Web album and you get the other pictures plus captions.

Electric outlet boxes

Almost water proof!

We had some dry days and they were able to get the polyurethane roofing applied. It wasn't completely sealed, but that was a big improvement. I wrote a post on the 11th, but had trouble with "Blogger". There was no way for me to publish my draft. I couldn't even copy it to paste it into a new post. I guess "Blogger" was having issues. Anyway, I will post those photos today and then the new ones that we just took.

For some reason, you can't get the slide show without opening my Picassa Web album. It used to work either way. More "Blogger" issues????

Status of the house

It rained! Yuck!

No pictures this time. It is too sad to see standing puddles of water all over the floors. They didn't get the roof sealed with the polyurethane and they didn't seal over the holes for the vents in time. Sad, but I'm sure it will be fine. It has been rainy for two days and the forecast is for more of the same for the next few days. Now is when building in the Northwest gets interesting! :-) It seems like they will need several days of sunshine to dry these wet houses out. And days of sunshine are going to get rare over the fall and winter. We have to hope that they know what they are doing, though.

Our shower is in. The hot and cold water pipes are in.

We have met and chatted with the buyers for the "Metro" model home. They expect to move in at the end of this month.
