The tricky thing is with blogger and blogs to see the very beginning you have to go to the very first post...here. And then you can see the real progress: here and here.

No school today and no rain either. Peter is up on the roof and the wind is gusty! I am cleaning and organizing things at home and at school. I wish there was more I could do at the new house. I have swept, picked up nails and nails and nails and put down cardboard to keep the clay gombu off the floors. We are going to test another color for the siding today. The other sample was too blue. We hope this one works so we can get it ordered.

House From Top
Using Kohler's Virtual Bathroom Planner and the floorplans I made the inside of the house. I tried to make the windows and doors in the correct positions and tried to make them close to correct size to get the right feel. It is cool to kind of "walk around" and see how it is--especially with the interior walls solid.From Foyer
In this one you can see the dining/living room on the left and the master bedroom on the right. Straight ahead is the railing and the steps to the basement with the one big window (actually 2 big windows) looking out to the back patio/orchard view.

I know...the furniture is wrong, paint color wrong, but you can get the idea of the room and kitchen setup. I'll try some more screenshots. If you look on the left hand side you can kind of see the floorplan.Friday, October 24, 2008
Hunter Green Shingles on the back
Peter has begun the roofing. It is very high and very steep. All I can do is stand and watch. Mr. Wipperman is coming to help Saturday and Larry's worker will be here Monday. Yeah!! The siding sample arrived yesterday. We will measure and hopefully order the siding on Monday. It takes 2-3 weeks for the order to arrive.Wednesday, October 22, 2008
The roofing begins
I am on my way over to the house to see if Peter has fallen off! I have been so nervous today because he is starting the roofing!!

Monday Update
Dad is in Marinette trying to finish up his concrete jobs. The shingles are going to be delivered on Wednesday and he will start. I am going to go to the school board meeting tonight. Bragers surprised us yesterday and came down. They were standing in the orchard when we were driving by Lambeau Field! They waited for us. They really liked the house.

A break from construction
We took a break from house construction this weekend. We are back in Marinette doing yard work and some relaxing. We toured the Coast Guard Ice Breaker Mackinaw at the light house pier in Menominee. It is 245 feet long, but very similar to the Cypress (Jana's boat in Mobile, Alabama.) It was a beautiful day to be on the bay. We also walked out to the light house that has been taken over by the city. Tours were offered today as well.
Good football news today. The Marinette Marines defeated the Menominee Maroons in the 102nd M and M football game. It was played in Marinette and I could hear the cheers as I was raking pine needles (Jon!). It was the first victory for Marinette in eight very long years. Hooray Marines!!

Haley and Bill
We moved these closets to the bathroom wall side of the bedroom. This really helped with the looks of the room and the end wall. It also elimated the dust catcher. The closet ceiling will extend the lofted area that will be over part of the front bedroom and the bathroom.Haley and Bill framing the closet
Haley and Bill arrived from Marquette, Michigan on Thursday and stayed to help us out. Thanks again!Monday, October 13, 2008
View from the bathroom
This wall is where the closets are now. You can see where the lofted area will be-looking toward the front bedroom. Oops, this is not that view. This is the entry.
