IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A HOUSE!

It seems like it was just yesterday when we cleared the trees.  The build is still on schedule and is looking more like a house.  Most of the roof sheeting is finished and most of the sealing has been put on it.  The mechanicals, (Heating ducts and connections for the geothermal system), will be installed soon.  The soffits and the facia has been started.  I have added more pictures and will keep you informed about any progress.
