09-01-2010: Framing entrance area

-

The framers were back today and finished up most of the entrance area.  They'll be back tomorrow to finish up a few details.  The front doors will have to be stained and sealed eventually, and the front eaves on the new area need to be painted. 

The plumber and HVAC guys didn't show up today.  The garage doors were ordered and will probably be in next week.  The shingles were ordered and will be here as early as Friday.  The fireplace should also be in on Friday.  Hopefully the plumber and HVAC guys will be back soon to get their parts on the roof finished up so we can get the shingles going soon.  It's still about 2-3 weeks until the brick arrives.  Once the brick and stone go up, we can pour the front and back porches and put up the rest of the cedar beams.
