Here is a couple of pic of the garge. We are going to put a 2nd story above the garage.

That's looking good. Also, looks like your grass is filling in after all the rain.

Keep the pictures coming. I'll be starting a new house within the next year and I enjoy watching the progress.

sr,
Nice progress on your home. Looks like you are farther along than I am, even with the rain delay.
Are you still getting all that rain now?

It has not rained much for the last 2 weeks . It should be dried in this week. I have not make it up there in about a week or so and can't wait to see what it looks like.

Two weeks of dry weather and we're exited. hahaha It's the same here, the dirt is finally dry and I'm able to get some things done. I thought the drought was bad, but this is much worse. At least when it was dry out, I couldn't burn. With all the rain, I can't burn, take out trees, mow or move dirt. Nothing gets done. This year will turn out to be almost total waste in accomplishing anything.

Nice to hear your home is coming along. Everyone I've talked to has been having issues with the rain. From dirt work, to pouring slabs and being able to get a building dried in. It's just created massive delays that are stoping future projects because everybody is so far behind schedule. I'm turning down all sorts of jobs because I can't finish the ones I have.

1 1/4 inches of rain last night and three more days of storms predicted. Here we go again. LOL

Update with more pics,

Well we managed to get the house decked and the tar paper on, so looks like we are starting to shed water off of the house. We still like a couple of gable end to cover before we can wrap the house. At least we are starting to show more consitant progress. Right now we also still need to add 3 5' dormers to the roof also.

My wife and I are going to make a trip to Atoka Ok. this week to pick out the rock that we are going to use for the exterior. This is starting to be all of the really fun stuff. We are really excited about how the house is looking so far, and I think it is going to look really good when we get it completed. Here are a few more pic that I took over the weekend.

The house is coming along pretty well right now. I made a trip up there today and the windows are installed and the home wrap has been installed. They are working on the dormers and putting shingles on the roof. Here is a few more pics.

Great pics!! Looks like it's all coming together.

Looks like a 4ft door in one of your pics, but I'm not sure how big those windows are. 60 x 60?

The door is just a standard door, the big windows are 6' X 6'. The garge doors are 8' tall. I will have more pic tomarrow. The dormers are installed and the roof to the garge is put on. The house is looking pretty good right now.

Well I got a few more pics for ya'll. We are starting on the wiring in the house and the dormers are put installed. The window should be installed in the dormers by now, but I took these pic on monday. Also the roof going from the house to the garge is installed.
