More progress this week and weekend. There was a bunch more work done this afternoon that I don't have pics of, but you get the gist. The concrete for the porches will be poured tomorrow, and the porches will have colored concrete and then stamped to look like flagstone. I will be working on the roof this week and weekend, hope to finish it up by next weekend, then on to siding.
Still waiting on the framing contractor to finish up, hopefully by Thursday he will be out of there.
Shingles about a 1/3 of the way done

Grilling Porch and triple window, the porch will extend all the way around to connect to the concrete porch eventually.

Hoping to have all of the major outside things finished by the third weekend in October, and then have all of the inside finished by Christmas. That is the plan right now, but it is going to depend on how much help I get in order to get there.
LAst time I clicked this thread you just dugout the ground.

More progress today. Framer is done except putting the doors in (they have not come from the factory yet) and a little odds and ends, nothing to stop me from working in there at this time. Definitely want to get the roof and siding done first before moving inside, but the weather is not cooperating at all.
Basement Steps
Garage is finally sheeted, just some more tar paper and it will be good to go.

I need some help from the electrical gurus. Since the house 3 floors (including the basement) the wife and I were looking into getting an intercom system so that if one of us is in the basement and the other is on the second floor, we don't have to scream to try to get the other's attention. We are also looking for a DVR security system, wired is fine for both applications.
