Finishing Up the Framing

Construction keeps inching away here. The framers just finished up for awhile. Now Rod will work on the insulation, siding, and roof. He gently mentioned that maybe being moved in by Christmas isn't going to happen, something I've been suspecting for a week or two. I'm ok with that piece of news now and I am still so very excited about how things are shaping up.


This is the front of the barn. The left side is the living quarters. The framers will come back in a few weeks to add the porch roof.


Front side again. Different angle. The start of some insulation.


More insulation and the realization that Rod is putting in some long days.


This is the view as you come out of this kids' bedrooms and look out onto their loft area. 


This is hard to see, but I was so excited about this so I wanted to try to show it. As the kids' bedrooms were being framed in, Rod noticed that above the areas right beside each of their bedrooms, there would be room to add lofts. The area is small, maybe only big enough for a twin mattress. The kids really like this about their rooms.



Speaking of kids, Max walked with me a little last night and saw first hand how excited the calves are to have us live there so they have a little more excitement in their lives.

That's all for now. Thanks for following along.
