The Roof is Done....and the Basement is Poured as well

 

 With the start of September comes the start of school and for Kevin and Rosanne the return to work.  So lately it has been hard to have our daily walks over to the house to see the progress of the house.  However, since Kyara, Matteya, Ariel and Mia have school right beside the house they have been able to keep track of any new developments.

Over the past few days we have witnessed the completion of the roof, 


the addition of piping (and the stacks on the roof) as well as 



the connection of the water from the city lateral.  


All that being completed in the basement allowed for the pouring of the cement floor in the basement.



So our house continues to move along with the hope that this week will see the delivery of our windows.  With the installation of the windows will come a new phase of the construction of our house.  Our house will be considered to be "closed in" and thus will allow for the indoor work to be done - that is the electrical, piping and installation of the dry wall.  As well, we will see the exterior of the house come to life with stone, brick and lots of Hardie Plank.


It is a very exciting time, but also daunting as we continue to make decisions on the style of stairs, light fixtures, door hardware, kitchen cupboards and various other items.
