More House Building Photos

We've been busy, roofing when the wind cooperates which hasn't been often and installing girts and more soffits. I evn mowed part of the lawn one day, the dry part. We've also had a lot of rain with more coming this weekend.

But here are some photos of our recent work. Today we finished roofing the reverse gable, which houses the small bedrooms.
Did this side of the small roof the other day

And we put 3 sheets of steel on this side today
Today I finished installing the soffits on the west side of the garage.

the windows and man door were also roughed in on the garage wall

A few days ago I finished the soffits on the east side. For a total of approximately 72 feet of soffit.
Yesterday we installed girts along the large garage door wall, as it was too windy to roof, I just drilled holes in the steel.
short boards but it took all afternoon.
4 sheets on the back is as far as we got a couple weeks ago

At the end of May I also ordered the windows for the house. Anderson 400 series from Home Depot. At some point this year we actually need to install them. The house MUST be dried in this year! We really shouldn't let another winter get to the exposed wood.
