It's been a while since our last post and a lot has changed.  Bonnie Finn and I went back to WI the first weekend in September for Chris ( our Nephew) and Catherine's wedding.  Bonnie and I are back to school, and we've been hiring more help to get the addition closed in.  We've been working with Gerado, a man Keith has been hiring for some time now.  Last week we passed roof inspection so we can get the roof in and get back to living indoors again.  We'd like to get all of the siding and windows in place before we slow down for the season.  Looks like that might be able to happen in the next couple of weeks.
Here is a shot of the from the back side of the house with the roof sheeting done. 

 Siding is on the front side of the addition...

 ...as well as windows.  The height on the center windows is about 11 feet.  I know what you're thinking because Bonnie had the same thought when she saw them in place. How does one clean these suckers?    

 While we were back in WI Dave surprised us by installing all or the dinning room windows.

 This morning Trevor and I finished the t&g Dave started on the roof over the deck.

Nights are cooling off nicely and fall is starting to settle in on the mountain.  It will be good to get things buttoned up.  Then we can slow down without the pressure of the elements and enjoy the Super Bowl Champion Packers.  O.k so we would enjoy them whether we were closed in or not.  Go Packers!
