More Progress

The NV winter place, which two days ago I reported “dried-in,” now has its drywall installed. Photos at the other DrC’s blog, here. This is a major step toward it looking like the finished house will generally appear. 

Next the sheet rock needs to be taped, textured, and painted. As noted before, this is the fourth house we’ve had built for us so the process is familiar. 

In the first photo you can see the bags of stucco piled out front for installers to mix up and trowel on. Our CA place had a stucco exterior; it is good, tough stuff - won’t rot, feed termites or burn. 

Depending on availability, things can move relatively quickly at this stage in construction. Even for “old hands” like us, it is exciting.
