New House Build

The house is great to be in, fire going constantly so the furnace does not turn on.

Someone ask for a picture of the fire going....here ya go.

Ooooops I just realized I posted this in your house build thread. Sorry.:confused3:

No apology necessary Lynn. Looks very warm and cozy!!!!

My guys are trying to work on my house but our weather is not cooperating. Freezing rain and 20 degrees with 25mph wind today....

Having your roof/doors/windows done is a big mile stone and lets the work continue inside.:thumbsup: Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I woke today to a 40MPH wind?? Not sure how hard it was blowing but it was a complete white out with the blowing snow. Looks like I'll get some tractor time clearing my road.

We're 13F degrees with a stiff NW wind at noon. Builders are working in an insulated, no heat structure.

I'm setting my four post lift in my heated shop. I feel guilty until I go out there to bond with them. After a couple minutes I'm over it and back in the warm shop.

There were times I felt a little guilty when they were doing the siding and soffit/facia on my house, but I reminded myself they had 2 months of good dry weather and chose not to work on it so I didn't feel too bad. :laughing:

This is a great build. I am loving this. It is very motivating to me to get moving forward on my own build again.

I am stalled. Haven't made any significant progress in 45 days. Waiting on a warm day to spray foam the exterior walls. None in the forcast for ten days.

Closing on the sale of our current home the 28th, possession date 01 April. We're gonna be living in a camper trailer for sure.

What kind of temps do you need? I think it was cold when they sprayed mine but don't remember how cold for sure.

Hopefully you'll get some warm days so you can move forward.
