House Progress

Our house went from a plywood clad monster to a plastic covered monster. 
 All along as we planned this house, I knew it would feel like a big tall rectangle sitting out in a field - a bit monster-like. I'm slowly getting used to seeing it...hopefully my parents are too.
 One evening, while Jeremy worked on getting the roof covered he had our entire family out there "helping" him.
The boys are endlessly enamored with the scissor lift. Thankfully, Jeremy is patient with them.
Harold, was there too, but he didn't get to ride on the scissor lift.

Jeremy lined that entire section of roof by himself before going home and then his crew did the other side in the morning. The wind has caused them quite a bit of grief the past couple weeks. There are some jobs you simply cannot do when the wind is blowing from 20-40 mph.
And this is how she looks now. Plastic clad, and the roof is on the sun room.
The front porch and garage approached are formed and waiting for the concrete guys to show up and pour.
We actually got a little bit of rain (best sound or smell I'd experienced in a long time) so that slowed the concrete work down.
The house continues to be a playground for the children. I keep telling them to enjoy being able to ride their bikes in the house now, because eventually I'm not going to allow it. :-)
