Zip walls, Advantech sub floors, and 6 inch exterior walls... Well done. You are certainly doing it right.

Thanks Stepp, I know you know what you’re talking about.

Mush to my surprise, there will be no trusses.

The tables are being framed and will be lifted soon. The garage area has been started to be cleared but the skidder got stuck and will finish soon.

Finally making headway on the home. Still to muddy for the skidder to get in there to clear for the detached garage.

Looking good Pix, just about ready for the "trades".

Thanks Rusty, I’ll be happy when the windows and exterior doors are in.

So the detached garage has yet to be started and with the road bans in the area on til a few more weeks, it doesn’t look like the garage will be done til late May.

Here’s the latest on the house. The plywood is receiving stone on the columns and corner of garage along with Azek trim.

Lookin good!!!

I'm always curious about builder's methods, not critical. Ask why they are trimming before they paint the walls?

I'm anxious to see the stone work!!!

You've made a lot of progress over the winter!!! House looks nice. When does Spring happen there?

I agree I had expected priming to be done first as well. We’ve had communication issues with the gc so I’ll be at the site early this week while the guys are there and I will ask them. I can only guess that they’ll prime the casings along with the walls as they will be painted eventually.
