Week 12: Sept 14 - 18

Wow, what a busy week. When we started this building project I had a desire to contribute in some way to the contruction of the house. For some odd reason I chose to do the electrical. I made a gross underestimation of the time and effort it takes to complete the electrical portion of a home. Thank goodness for Kevin Layton, the electrician who is helping me, as I could not do this on my own. I feel like we are finally coming to the end of the project. This is good as I am already 2 - 3 weeks behind schedule. The only rooms left are the garage, a couple of appiances in the kitchen, the outside back lights, and the storage room. Then the fun of organizing the panels.

In the end, I will have run close to 4000 feet of electrical wire. That is almost a mile of wire in our house! I feel like I have created a large electro-magnet.



The exterior of the home continues to move forward. The siding guys have nearly comleted two sides of the home and the brick guy is steadily moving across the front of the house. I am liking the look of the red brick on the yellow and white siding.

Also this week, the curbing for our driveway was completed.
