Me and Osker "stayed" while Mom got the mail!  She went out the gate, across the road and back, and we hadn't moved!  We got treats for that one!

The 4 gable ends have windows, trim and siding!  They're going to be painted before the metal roof goes on.  We've also been stapling on Tyvek drain wrap and installing windows on the main floor.  The plumber is almost finished with rough-in plumbing.  He needed to run the vents out the roof before the metal goes on.  Also trying to get a coat of stain on the fascia board before the metal flashing goes on.

We got a new toy and haven't wrecked it yet!  When it gets thrown I always get it first!  Osker has his 4 month puppy shot and gained 10 pounds last month!  He's a piggy!

After almost an inch of rain the roof got sheeted last week.  Weather has been good since so the inside is drying out.  Now we're trying to get the gable windows installed, trimmed, and the siding on before the metal roofing is laid down.  The plumber is here too doing the rough-in for all the roof vents.

These workmen are putting up finish-grade plywood on the underside of the gable.

The house is almost all sheeted (the east gable and the garage gables to go)!  Great to see the attic space defined.  It did get darker inside the house because of the porches.  We had over a half inch of rain last week.  Lots of water falls inside, but it dries out fairly quickly.  More showers in the forecast.

Mom says me and Osker didn't do anything cute this week so there are no pictures.  She says we were naughty, don't listen, and ate too much fallen fruit which makes us have to go out in the middle of the night!  This morning at 5 am there was a deer on the back deck eating pears!

We had a little time to relax today!  Been harvesting fruit and garden produce; making jam and drying fruit.

Carpenter Mike hired another framer (a young buck) to help frame and sheet the roof.  It's tricky walking around on trusses.  They're almost done.  Forecast is for rain!  Can finally see how the structure will look!
