Siding almost complete!

Our big yellow house is just about finished with it's siding. It's just what we wanted.

Now, the yard work is another thing that will take some time and of course, money!

The Man on Stilts / April 3rd

After the sheetrock hanging crew was finished, the man on stilts showed up to begin mudding and taping the seams and nail heads. He was very skilled on these stilts.

Icyene Insulation March 17,18th, 2008

After searching for a better way to insulate our home, we decided to try the Icyene foam insulation. Gale Construction in St. George was our choice of contractors for installing this type of insulation. It is sprayed in wet like paint, but swells and fills the cavity between the 2x6's on the inside of the outer walls. An amazing thing to watch indeed! This type of insulation fills all of the holes in the outer walls around pipes, electrical outlets, windows etc.

The Sheetrock Work Crew Arrives! March 27th, 2008

This was the most amazing day in the construction of our home so far to date! Ten Mexican men arrived to hang the sheetrock. The pieces were 5/8" thick, and 8'x12' long. They arrived at 7am and pulled out at 5:30pm with the whole house fully sheetrocked! They were just like bees in a beehive in full action! They really knew what they were doing, with each one knowing what his job was.

The sheetrock arrives!

Now is the exciting part! The day we have waited for...... the Sheetrock arrives.

Date of arrival : March 25th, 2008
