House Building Week 2

This week has been both exciting and a little stressful! The house is continuing to come right along and its so fun to go out and see it every night. Most days drastic changes have happened and it makes us more and more excited. We had one bad day when our financial guy called us up and told us the interest rates had just shot up unexpectedly and advised us to lock in, but its at a whole percent higher then we were anticipating. Also that day the Home Run Grant had officially ran out. We pretty much knew that would happen before we could close and had come to grips with it, but we were still disappointed. Crazy things always happen during this process and its amazing we survive. Thank goodness the end result makes up for it all. Here's the progress this week...

TUESDAY. They finish the roof and start on the electrical and plumbing.

WEDNESDAY. They put in the windows, finish the electrical and plumbing and air ducts.

THURSDAY. They put on the exterior doors and starts putting the tar paper (I think that is what it is called) on the roof for the tiles.

FRIDAY They started the insulation and finished building the back patio

SATURDAY. They finished the insulation and started the Sheetrock, started the prep for the stucco and put the tiles on the roof.

MONDAY They finished the Sheetrock and the outside prep for the stucco.
