Plumbing rough-in passed on 12/30/09. Good job Fat Mike and Doug.

See notes in next post.

Randy, the greatest electrician in all of the world, wanted the portion of the southern wall, where the service head is to be located, painted ASAP. While Ahmad, the best painter I know, had his sprayer filled, he went ahead and primed all the siding that is currently up. Sherwin Williams tints primer so the blue we see is pretty close to the final shade. The gentleman in the photo is Adrian. He is a one of the best masons I know.

More siding. On the inside, the plumbers, fat Mike and Doug, are almost about to call for rough-in inspection.

The siding is being scraped and sanded off-site. Siding is then being reinstalled. The bare space next to the front door will house a side lite.

Tyvek
