Saturday progress and Sunday and Monday plans

The House God Built continues to move towards it's completion date of May 17th and we have plenty of progress to report from Saturday. Most of the work happened outside on Saturday with major excavation in the backyard. The sewer line is now functional and the backyard is nearly at it's final grade. Now that this is complete we can prepare to pour concrete for the basement floor, driveway, and sidewalks.

Also outside on Satuday we continued with siding and got about half of the front of the house done. This part of the house is challanging due to the bay window and porch but it would seem that the hardest parts were done yesterday and today should go a bit more smoothly. Once the front is complete we have to hang siding on the back of the second floor to finish all siding work.

Inside THGB we did lots of cleanup in preparation for the hardwood flooring to go in later this week by scraping splattered drywall mud off the floors and revising the treads on the stairs. We also have much of the tile laid in the kitchen, dining room, and master bathroom. Today we'll try to finish those rooms and see how far we can get on the laundry room and upstairs bathroom.

On Monday we will be receiving our hardwood flooring and need help bringing it inside. We also need to do some touch-up painting around windows and a few spots on the ceilings. Check back on the blog later today to see how you can help at The House God Built this week.
