House talk: walls inside and out

Let's see, where were we ... oh yes, siding.

Last time I posted about the house, they were about to start siding. Well here we are today ... outside they are completely done with siding and inside there is a good start on sheetrock.

May 18: siding started going up

the port-a-potty has a terrific view

June 2: fireplace framed and installed

June 2: spray-foam insulation started

June 4: sheetrock delivered

June 7: siding completed and sheetrocking started

where the front porch will be (the supports are installed)

My oh my, what a messy great room! The mud room is through the right arch, the dining room and kitchen are in the left corner. Stairs to the basement are in the middle, against the wall.

Siding complete in the back too!

When we were out today, a train came for a visit!

In all the times we've been out to the land/house, we'd never seen a train on the tracks (the tracks are the east border of our property. They blew the whistle at the road crossing and chugged on through.

Corey counted 112 cars! That's a loooooooong coal train. And it even has a caboose.

I never thought I'd say this about a train, but it was really cool, and quite pretty.
