Trilby and Mike's house was delivered in two sections on Wednesday and Thursday last week. It was quite muddy from all of the rain we've been having so they had to pull at least one of them into the lane with the tractor! Friday morning they were set to start putting them on the foundation at eight o'clock. We went to watch about nine, and low and behold, they already had them on the foundation!
The boys enjoyed watching the crane work. It's down and ready to load in this picture. This is the front of the house and the side is where the garage will be eventually.
This is the best view of the back that I have. The door in the basement leads to a hallway between the mechanical room and the bathroom. The door on the back of the house is wrong, and it will be changed to a patio door. The open door at this end goes into the mud room where the washer and dryer will be.
Now, the work begins. The contractor has to do a little drywall, then we can paint. We have to put down underlayment and then they can lay carpet and linoleum in the first floor when we are done painting. The electrical and plumbing and heating have to be put in and hooked up. We have to finish the basement. And the septic has to get done. Let's hope a lot of people want to work really hard in the next six weeks so they can be moved in by the end of August.
