The siding is getting there. The front and both sides are done, now just the back remains.

They've also gotten the sanding done on the sheetrock, so now that part just needs painting.

Here's what is still left to do (I'm probably missing some non-visible stuff!)

The back needs to be sided.

Inside electrical work needs to be finished. The power company is going to put a new pole in the yard and we'll be running the electric and phone cables...

2 rainy days in a row, so the progress has been on the inside of the house.

Even though the house is a modular and came in mostly finished inside, there was still some sheetrock work to be done along where the 2 halves met in the middle. There were also a few cracks above the windows here and there, probably from driving around the corners from there to here.

The electric crew came in today and got most of the wiring done. The panel box is up in the basement and the meter is on the outside of the house....

No pics today - but more progress to report.

The little eavey-things are now up on the roof on the northern end of the house and also that TyPar paper has been put on the entire back side of the basement wall.

The septic system inspector came today and had 2 small changes that need to be made before they'll stamp a big ole approval on it. Changes have been made so now we wait for another inspection. They did get the ok to backfill it, so we're down to just...
