What's Happening On the House?

We get this question about once a week sometimes more, sometimes less. 

I realize I've not been keeping you updated on the house building, partly because I've been very busy

 and partly because I'm very busy :)

 Actually we started a new schedule which is helping with our general busyness! 

But I went out this morning and took some pictures for you. :)

Here is the back half of the new addition. This will eventually become the master bedroom! 

The ceiling joists are all in, window frames are ready for windows, insulation and wiring is mostly done. Instead of trying to find the ceiling joists while putting the ceiling up we've decided to do strapping inside on top of the vapor barrier so that is next! Then we can nail the 4x4 sheets that make up the ceiling right to the strapping there fore making our lives easier. We are waiting on bales or the walls would be finished. The farm we get bales from should have some very soon. 

Here you can see the rest of the ceiling joists are finished and Papa is working on wiring, insulation and vapor barrier. The front does not have ceiling joists as it will be a vaulted ceiling. This area is missing three window frames as we are unsure of the sizes we want/can get. This area will be two bathrooms, side by side, another bedroom and the pantry. Then under the vaulted ceiling the dining room and kitchen! The middle area where the trailer is now will have a laundry room, half bath and two LARGE bedrooms :) The space between the trailer and the new addition will actually be the hallway! 

So now you can consider yourself updated :)
