Snow


Snow came to Cooper Mountain, which is east of us, but not to Dilley.

Roof Panels


All of the roof panels on the south side of the house were installed today.

Preparing



The crew spent several hours preparing for the roof panels on the south side of the house.

Modifying Panels




In order for the panels to all fit, Roberto measured, cut, and "shaved" the foam so that the panel will be snug in its final resting place.

Roof


The garage is the first area to have a roof on the north and south. The last panel was put in place right about dark o'clock today. The north side of the house also has roof panels in place. Notice the clouds to the east, shades of pink in those stormy looking clouds.

Unplanned Skylights


Due to an error at the factory where the panels were made, we have some unplanned skylights. Bryan, and his crew will fill in the holes with OSB board and foam will be sprayed into these four areas to correct the problem. They are in the north part of the house where the utility room and laundry room are located.

Measuring



We measured and put down boards and cardboard to see where our "island" in the kitchen area will be built. Jen came to measure for the kitchen cabinets. We are having Brooks Brothers Cabinetry make the hickory cabinets.

A visitor


Renee, our neighbor from down the valley, came with her "girls" today to visit and see the house construction. Nice, nice horses.

Roof Panels Installed




The first of the roof panels were installed on Thursday. We're hoping for more of our great Colorado weather to get the rest of the roof panels installed.

Dumpster Delivered

More concrete


Today concrete work was done on the pad outside the garage.

Plans


Dan and Bryan are discussing plans. We are so impressed with Bryan and his crew.

Garage Trusses



Ceaser worked on the north side of the garage, setting the trusses. Since one more truss is needed to complete the garage area, a truss was removed so that Alex could make another one.

Garage Panel


Another panel in the garage is added.
