In mid-October, Randy's brother Steve came up to the Skagit Valley to help with the building. What a blessing it was to have him on the job, overseeing the subs while Randy was working at Etera during the days! In the evenings and on weekends, they would work together on various projects around the house. Here they're taking a dinner break!
The windows and doors finally arrived. The night before they were to be installed, we had visitors again, who "borrowed" two of the doors! We were thankful they left the more expensive front door! This, and the rest of the photos on this page are courtesy of Steve's photography.
In mid-October, Randy and our friend John Sturm took a week's vacation from their busy (hectic!) jobs at Etera to do the electrical wiring in the house. Together with Steve, they worked long and hard hours to get the job done and pass the electical inspection! Our panel is a testimony to John's expertise and dedication!
Drywallers begin the long job of covering the insulation. Bob slaps the stuff in place, and the rest of the workers come along after and doing the taping and smoothing. The "ghostly" figure to the right is the gas fireplace that sits between the kitchen and the great room.
The siders are doing their work! I wouldn't want to work up on those scaffoldings! Because we're moving into the wet winter, we may wait to paint the exterior in the spring, when the paint can cure properly. Fortunately, the Hardiplank siding is almost the same color of gray we plan to use!
This is the house as it looked just before Thanksgiving.
