News Flash!

Erik and I went out to the house this evening to take some measurements for the fireplace and see the progress and we disovered that the deckers did come out this morning and work. I don't blame them at all for spreading out the work over several days so they can work in the morning and avoid the 102 plus temperatures here in the afternoon. So now it's completely decked. They still lack the tape along the seams of the zip wall and some of the hardy on the roof of the porch. Then they can really do the hardy and put in the windows.

It's nice to walk inside and have a better sense of space with a roof and the exterior walls in place...with sheet rock it will be even better.




Aside from the "green" energy codes required by the city, we are not purposefully choosing the expensive and trendy route of buying eco-friendly products for our new house, but decking is sold with a radiant barrier on the back, so here's to lower energy bills! I guess new appliances will also fit in the energy saving category...

Wow, never would have though of Tuesday Morning for faucets. Glad that you found enough for the house. It looks great.
