Roofing and Siding

So, here is the weekly shot and I know it's been more than a week. The roof is completely on and the siding is going up quickly.
The siding is "primed" and once we settle on a color, will be painted. It will be a shade of green. Did you know there are about 74 shades of green? Amazing.
...the site contractor used a CAT to move boulders found during excavation to form retaining walls.
Inside the house, things are coming along, as well. Here is the box for the chimney chase and fireplace. It will be surrounded by tiles that we've selected in a beautiful design.

Somehow I got captions below the photos this week. The cold, rainy weather seems to have descended upon us this past week, and we are happy to have the roof on. Inside the house, the main floor has been poured, and the electricians are wiring for lights and outlets. The plumbers have done their preliminary work, and we have the ability to drain water out of the house via some pipes, not just bailing out via the windows and doors. About 95% of the windows and doors are in, as a matter of fact.

Bob has begun working in earnest at the site daily. He installed the central vacuum system and has stained the interior of the windows that are in the TOP of the great room (prior to installation) and they look great!
