House dried in 100%, Aug 31, 2010
Here are pictures of all sides of the house. All windows and doors are either installed or sheeted over for the winter. The only thing I have left to do is cover the two chimney flashings in the roof. I also have to do something about the water running off the roof making a ditch on both sides of the house. I would like to sheet the ground under the deck on both sides of the house out just past the edge of the roof and cover it with stones to prevent the soil from washing away and stop weeds from growing under the deck.

Finished installing windows available, Aug 30, 2010
Today I finished installing all the windows I have purchased so far. There are 4 windows in the loft and 2 windows on the main floor that are not available at this time. These are the windows on the west side of the house in the family room. Below are the windows on the North side of the house. I am in the process of framing in the center window. I will sheet it over with OSB for the winter. When I get the window next year, I can install it very quickly. I will finish this window tomorrow. There is one other window I will frame out and sheet over tomorrow.
There are 4 doors on the main floor, 2 double doors and 2 single doors. I have installed one of the single doors. Since I do not have the other doors at this time, I
will do temporary frames on them and sheet them over with OSB for the winter.
I will be spending the next few days wrapping up loose ends. I plan to head home by September 6th at the latest.
