What is next ? When do the upper windows go in? That step will make working upstairs a little brighter but may slow things down a bit. Stopping to watch the outside goings-on can get in the way but it makes life more interesting. Take time to smell the roses - its about the journey so don't rush. Trust me the trip will be easier and more enjoyable with power/heat and light if you take time to let it be.
The windows have snuck up the priority list and are very near the top, Ewest. Our first priority continues to be completing the roof detail stuff, but that gets bumped until the conditions are absolutely ideal (read this as dry and minimal wind). Another project that has ascended the priority list is the soffits on the gable ends. The lower sections of a gambrel roof design are very easily exposed to wind driven rain. This situation would also allow water to get behind the housewrap. Installing the soffits would eliminate the potential. - Having just completed utility power installation and not having to use a generator all day (and night when it's cold) has yielded a construction atmosphere that we have not yet experienced. It's quiet. As we work, we can hear hawks screach, the pileated woodpeckers whoop, and barred owls hoot. For now, this is our subtle reminder of the reason we are doing this.
