Sunny south side

It was supposed to rain today but it turned out to be a great day!

The roofer was on the house, (.....you see what I did there?)

The roof of the deck was completed with peel'n'stick and then shingled. I have no plans for the underside right now. When I am on the deck I think beams look really nice overhead, but the nails are also in plain view.

The hole and vent are in place for the wood stove. 

Rain is expected in the next few days.... Which is fine as there is indoor work to be done!

With the 2x8 construction we are putting in R28 or in this case 2x R14.

The R40 in the attic will be Fiberglass ... because it will be sealed in and Roxul is expensive. 

So the crew will have lots to do ....

The electrician was on site. I think the pole is done... Albeit hydro power is still needed to the top.

The lines head underground and then to the house... That part still needs work.

But the exciting part was happening on the sunny south side today....

Some trim put in place here...

And then finally we break out the siding!

I stood and watched with a big grin on my face! It was the same grin that is there on a pow day up on the mountain; it was the kind of grin that just doesn't go away quickly.

This is my house!

With the sun moving to the front things look blue... But it's really more of a sage.

The second coat will even out the colour.

I like this shrub... It lives back near my fig tree. 

And it is almost blossom time on my apple tree. Maybe a picture tomorrow.
