Roof Trusses


Much progress has been made since the last home construction update.  Forrest and his crew have been working hard, and the exterior walls have been framed and the roof trusses are in place.  It is nice to now be able to see the actual shape of the house.


A well has been drilled on the east side of the house.  A goodly flow of water was attained at 365 feet down.  Hooray!  The septic field was put in off the lower west side of the house.


The plumbing and electrical work was completed behind the house, so most of the trench was finally filled in with gravel.  Raine had fun playing in the mounds of gravel that were piled behind the house before the trench was filled.  The roof decking materials, stacked by the remaining pile of gravel, will go up next.  A rock sculpture garden is also being constructed at the house site.  :-)
