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.

East and West Wall Trusses

More wood

This load of wood came from Pueblo. Notice that at the end of the truck is a machine that the driver uses to unload the wood.

Trusses...oops

After the folk lift was delivered, Bryon was rearranging the trusses and backed over two of them. His crew will have to make new ones.

The Trusses Arrived

With a click of a button, the driver was able to unload the trusses, which were on his fancy truck.
