The foam insulation was sprayed which meant E could secure the roof panels (although one section is still missing on the lower, left) and the electricians should be done on Wednesday.

E & I spent the weekend together in Glen Rose. He finished the framing while I continued to work on de-rusting the containers. Mimi & Enno joined us on Saturday for a tour and some yummy lunch. I bet she'll have some pictures to share.

The foam insulation will be sprayed tomorrow so that the roof can be completed & E's welder friend will return so that they can construct the patio.

Framing Walls

E began working on framing the walls today. It looks like he is almost through and ready for the electrician to return.

Windows & Doors Installed

E got up early Wednesday to pick up all of the doors in Dallas, windows in Granbury, and even picked up the rest of our new rocking chairs in time to meet the installation crew in Glen Rose. Unfortunately, it turned out that all of the windows and doors were built with the wrong dimensions. Fortunately the crew were able to fix them on site. And everything was installed by late Thursday night. It's starting to shape up!



Window & Door Frames

One of E's employees who is a skilled welder came out to help wrap up the door & window frames. He got so much done in one day! He's offered to come back next week and finish the patio & roof.

Our first fire in the fireplace.
The frame is installed for the clerestory.
