Eileen and I just got back from Union last night. We went up for an extended weekend, to check on the progress of the house, pay some bills, and we picked up our front door.
The roof is completed, and once the front door and basement window are installed, the house will be completely sealed. Not locked though, all you need is a screwdriver to get in. Found that out because we left our key in Sacramento. Cogent Construction did the roof. I didn't even meet Will, the owner, until after the roof was done. It took his crew less than a 1 1/2 days to do the installation. And all the shingles were hand nailed. Apparently, with the material we chose, Pabco Premier, there is only a 3/4 inch strip available for nailing, otherwise the warranty is voided.
John, with Paul's Electric is still working the electrical rough-in. He should be done is the next couple of days. Paul, the plumber, should be done with his rough-in this week also. And Matt and Jeff have finished the rough-in for the heating and ventilation system. We just need to have Keith do some additional framing (half wall in the master bath and a wall in the stair well) and we will be ready for the inspections. After that siding and wall boarding starts, and this place will really look like a house.
Foot Update. I now have a walking brace for my foot to slowly break in my ankle. Towards to end of the month, I get to take that off and start wearing a strong supporting boot.
