Construction Burnout

It seems we've really slowed down in our progress. Several things at issue here. We're both a bit burned out at this point and I can't really help with the high work and so Guy is working pretty much solo. On a positive note we are still making progress.

We got a great deal on our shingles. Guy made a day trip to Napa to get the deal. Of course this means no roof top delivery but for the cost we'll manage to get them to the roof top. Even with renting a trailer and diesel for the big truck to Napa and back the savings were just too good to say no to.

We did have our first rain of the season. Yikes! Guy managed to get all the sheathing covered so there was no damage and thank goodness it was a gentle rain, not a lot of wind and no torrential downpour so we were lucky and dodged a bullet. Once the shingles are on and the roof completed we'll be taking a day or two off but we've got to get this part finished before the rains really start.

The tractor will come back sometime next week to finish all the dirt work as well. That is another major project that really just has to be complete before the rains come. Then I think we can breath a bit more relaxed.

Here are some of the latest pictures:


And of course Bogey says living in the 5th wheel is just fine:
