More Wishard house progress

So a LOT more progress has been made on the house. Much more than is actually shown here, but I will get you up to speed.

Here is the view from upstairs, looking down to where the woodstove and dining room will be. (The woodstove is actually in!)


Here is the view of the main floor. This is the kitchen area. You can probably notice the black streaks running down the walls. That is from all the rain and snow that got in the house last winter when it wasn't enclosed. Mom, Aunt Rodie, and us three girls spent an entire day scrubbing the walls with bleach. That did the trick and removed the icky black water streaks. We then sanded the walls.

This is a view of the upstairs. Insullation has since been put into the ceiling and dormers. Lee
spent most of a day filling in those big cracks above the windows that you see. Most of the windows had large cracks over them. He did a good job getting everything filled in. All the gaps will be sealed with chink when the weather warms up a tad bit.

Last weekend Zach worked on the furnace unit, Matt worked on plumbing in the bathroom, and Joe worked on the wiring.

Views of the outside.

The dormers will have log siding on them to match the rest of the house.

This is the view of the front. The upper level and lower level will have decks built on them.

Matt has the septic system put in except for being backfilled. There is still a lot to go, but it is getting closer!
