Insulation and Shingles

So here we are post-Christmas, ringing in the new year with insulation, and a "finished" exterior. The siding is done, and it is looking VERY CLOSE to the autocad picture.

Studio double windows. 

We decided to insulate the garage ourselves. Ben is going to get started on that himself this week. I'm so glad my husband is good at this kind of stuff.  Doing this side by side with experienced builders is such a great introduction to the world of building. We love this process....there's nothing quite like seeing your home go from the ground upwards.

 The sheet rock is coming up next......  :)

This last one is a cool shot of the underside of the house. Ben stuck his phone down the crawl space access and clicked a shot. You can see the foundation walls that were out in broad daylight a mere few weeks ago. Very cool. There is a moisture barrier in place (the sheet of black plastic), now, helping to keep us dry from the ground-upwards.
