It finally looks like a house! We're looking at the front door and front porch, with the roof sheathed and ready to put the roof on. It'll be nice to seal up the house; it has been so wet this spring that the main floor of the house has mold growing on it (on the OSB) from being exposed to so much wet and rain.
The garage was dubbed "Flying Nun's Hat" by Dean the framer. It has 2 bays, and the carport on either side will cover trailers etc; it's supposed to look like a simple barn.
I threw in some people pictures. First is one of James (on the right) with Dean Plummer the framer (center), and Dan Rayburn who is our building consultant from UBuildIt, doing one of his site visits. Dan is important to us to keep us from making stupid mistakes!
There's a picture of Patrick, rolling some primer on the back of the siding before it goes on. We are siding the house with cement siding (like Hardy Plank, but this is a different brand). The house will be less of a fire hazard if it's covered in nonflamable siding (both hazard from forest fires burning us down, or a house fire igniting the forest around us).
The last picture is Katie and I (Becky), standing on a small island surrounded by the everpresent puddles. Patrick climbed up the hill behind the garage to take that one.
