Hanging

We finally got the inspectors here to give their final approval and we were good to go with sheetrock. Ward does so much of the work himself, but this is one job that he doesn't do. It is actually progressing along rather quickly. The hangers started yesterday and it sounds like they will be done by tomorrow or Friday.

Ready for Drywall

We are ready for drywall! We are just waiting for the inspectors to come give their "OK" before we start hanging. The exterior of the house is almost finished. We got the stone finished - which looks amazing if I do say so myself. When they started putting the stone on we were pretty worried that we had picked the wrong color. It looked a lot lighter on the house than the sample in the book - imagine that. But after they finished with the stone they gave it an acid wash and we couldn't have been happier with the end result. Now if we can just get the soffit & fascia finished...
