Yesterday I chinked the South wall with the color coat. Today I did the West wall. There's a little bit of the North wall yet to go but I ran out of coloring.

Friday I had the inspector here and he signed off on the roof and chimney box, so tomorrow we will finish up the last bit of roofing.
Tuesday we should be starting the flooring!

I am patiently waiting for windows and doors. :laughing:

You might want those before putting in flooring?

We went ahead and started the flooring on Monday.

The rains are over, and if one does happen along, we'll just tack plastic over the doorways. We need the floor in to set the doors in. The windows are scheduled for Oct 10, so no worries there.

Diagonal flooring? Now that is going to be interesting. Can't wait to see it when it is finished.

Bo,

Awesome project. Nothing to do at work today so I read through the entire post, looking forward to how you finish everything up.

I had to go back to Phoenix for a couple days and "work".

I got back at noon today and Scott and a local kid just finished the roof. We had a few panels yet to put on because we were waiting for the chimney box inspection. Now the roof is totally done, including the drip edge and ridge cap. What a relief! That's a major milestone and one that I am glad is behind me.

So after lunch we went back to work on the floor. We got a rhythm going and we're moving along pretty well until we got to a ridge pole support log. It takes a while to scribe the boards to fit around the logs.

Pics tomorrow.
