Still Working on Siding

We visited the house today to check-in with the contractor and see how things are going.  In a word, slowly.

The good news is that the siding is almost entirely in place, and some of the battens.  You can see the pattern for the vertical battens on the left.  But there is more needing to be done, such as the window trim and soffit.

The back of the house is completely covered, even though it is missing the battens.  In this photo you can see how the white soffit, which follows the joists, has been done on this closest end.  It makes a very clean look for the house.  The cinder block foundation visible here, and around the house, will be painted in a color to match the siding.

However, the most exciting thing for us is that all of the rough-in electrical wiring is done.  It has been approved by the county inspector! One hurdle crossed.

Our contractor told us that the plumber is coming to work tomorrow, with the hope that the plumbing rough-in can be inspected this week.  After that the framing inspection can get done.  If we can get through both of those next week, the insulation and sheet rock will soon follow.  If.
