Framing & Sheeting Pictures

We went back out to the house a couple times this week to take more pictures of the progress they have made. When we went out on Wednesday evening, it had rained all day so we were only able to get pictures from the outside. Things dried up by Friday, so the following pictures are of our house, as of Friday!

They should be done with all the framing and sheeting by Tuesday. The shingles are to arrive Wednesday and then Jay and his crew of helpers are going to do the shingling labor on Friday evening and on Saturday. So far (cross our fingers) the weather forecast calls for 80s and very low chance of rain for both of those days! Hopefully that holds up (at least the no rain part) for the shinglers!

Other than that, we have been busy starting to pick out other things. We have shingles & siding picked out for the exterior. As for the interior, we are working on getting a fireplace designed, plumbing and electrical fixtures picked out, and have been busy trying to pick out paint colors and flooring. (OK it's mostly ME that really has been obsessive about picking out paint, etc. Just ask anyone who sees my numerous painted mat boards in our trailer!)

We went to Nick's first dirt bike (motorcycle) race - not sure on the correct terminology for that - today in Price, ND. I will post some pictures on the Gerving Blog soon! It was fun and Jay & I are happy that we got to be a part of his first race!

Here's the house pictures...

Also, we want to wish our dads (and all dads we know) a very happy Father's Day tomorrow! We appreciate all you do for us and have done for us our whole lives and for raising us to be who we are today!
