attic access, door handles, siding

Hoyt hung around above the garage for awhile today finishing up a set of stairs into the attic space. We also completed putting in the door knobs and can now lock up the house. The front door handle required drilling into the door to set the bottom of the handle in place.

The siding on the front of the house is finished except at the top where we will be attaching the soffit. We also did more work on the back of the house. Soon we will need two tall ladders to reach the back heights but I plan to get out on the roof and do the sides and the dormers first.

As you can see there are some ditches dug in the front yard. On the right front corner of the front yard is the water hook up and a ditch had to be dug for laying the piping up to the house. Around the center of the front yard is the underground power and it was buried about five feet below ground. There is a ditch dug about three to four feet deep and about 60-70 feet long up to the location for where the meter will be located on the right side of the garage door facing.

David and Scott are working on the underground electric tonight. The sheetrock crew say they will be out tomorrow and could be done hanging by as soon as Saturday. I don't think that will happen but we'll see. Brick will be delivered tomorrow.
