3/4s There

Clapboard keeps appearing on the house. Now three sides are complete.  Here is the front:

Here's the back:

Tomorrow the guys will start on the garage side.  Ted will install the new kitchen door, while Nathan and Jeremy whale away on the siding.  Both Ted and I are taking off early this week, so the stair tower will not get its dress until next week.  Ted figures that by the end of September the outside of the house will be winterized.  He also thinks we will get our rough plumbing, heating  and electrical permits by then.  That means that we can move on to insulation and then drywall.

Ted will not rebuild the front porch or the garage until the spring.  He says he wants to get the interior done first, so we can move in.
