Sure looks good!!!
How's the rain in your area? The news keeps talking about the floods in Northern California and I know you get more rain in Washington than they do.
No windows or doors has got to be tough keeping it dry.

Haven't been up to WA since Thanksgiving, got a buddy snapping up pictures for me on the barn. We're heading up again in a couple weeks.
From how he's described things, we've got it far worse here in the SF Bay Area...I drove from my place to the in-laws after the big rain last Friday (5" overnight), and must have seen 30 large mud slides in 5 miles. The road crews are going to be busy for a while...
The roof went on the barn a few weeks ago - it did get rained on a couple times before that, but there was a nice windy dry spell just prior to the roof install, so everything dried out nicely ahead of time. The rains have been a little heavy up there since the roof went on, but the winds have been mild so very little has blown in through the window/door openings.
Still...it will be nice to get things completely sealed up. Windows and doors should be in next week, hopefully there will be a break in the weather for a few days so they can get them installed.

The weather guy from Seattle tells us six inches in the last 12 days which is above the normal rate but nothing like CA right now. Those six inches came in the form of half a dozen gulley washers though.

I know I've said this before, but what a beautiful place to build you home and shop. Just wonderful!
Yup...we were really lucky. When we bought a little over a year ago, we thought we overpaid a bit, but really wanted the place - it was a real stretch for us, we couldn't have afforded any more than we offered.
In just one year, property in this area has almost doubled. We couldn't afford it today...our timing was very fortunate.
Dreading the tax bill, though...no Prop 13 protection in WA like we have in CA. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The contractor has just about finished his work, but we've got a bunch more to do. For now, we've got just enough money left to paint the exterior.
Over the next couple years, we'll build out the interior on a pay-as-we-go basis. Progress will be slower, but we're in no rush...just have to have things done come 2011 when retirement hits.
Here's the first of a few pics - if anyone is interested, there are a bunch more in higher resolution at my personal site.
