work continues...

I finally took some new pictures last night. I'm hoping I'll be able to post them soon. But we're working away. We've been taking care of the little details inside that we hadn't yet had time for, like putting 2 x 6 ledgers under the floorboards in places where they were previously unsupported, but that weren't safety critical (like at the very edge of the lean-to section upstairs), getting ready for drywall, arranging siding, etc.

Our electrician came on Saturday and started the wiring. What a lot of wires it takes to supply a house! And because we can't run any wires through exterior walls, there's only one path the wires can take from the west wall (where the service comes into the house) to the east side, and that is over the bathroom door. There were so many holes drilled there that the supporting 2 x 4s splintered and broke in two. It's not a load bearing wall, but still it needs to be fixed.

Also our siding is being put on this week. They started it last week and it looks great! I can't wait to see it finished.

Oh, and the photo is of one of our sunflowers in the 'garden'.
