Take 4: Exterior Finish Details
That new house is moving right along! Unfortunately, once the framing and roof have been completed the progress might not seem as obvious from the outside. That being said, there's still much to be done -- outside and in! Curious as to what's been done since my last update? Here's a look at the exterior of the house:
Look VERY closely... do you see any changes?? This picture isn't the best for purposes of detail spotlighting, so I'll help you out. The foundation is now covered by brick. See it?! This house will be finished with James Hardie (board and batten) cement siding and accented with natural stone. Board and Batten shutters with wrought iron S-hooks will be added as a final detail at the end. Here's a picture of the rear elevation:
And, yes -- that's my builder/husband Jim... :)
The inside is in the process of being insulated right now. Once the insulation has been inspected, Jim will be free to move forward and into the final phases of construction. Sheetrock will be next, and the rooms will look like separate spaces, not a bunch of 2-by-4s in a big space! :)
Stay tuned for my next update!
