Bricks!

The bricks have all been delivered and set up in front and in back. Scaffolding going up and the bricklayers are supposed to begin today! They're starting in back so it won't be apparent for a little while, but they are out there laying brick! Woohoo!

Don't ask about the insulation and drywall. Especially don't ask my parents. It could get ugly.

Inspections

The house passed the plumbing inspection last week, and tomorrow will be the other three inspections necessary before things can move on. My parents are confident everything will pass because everyone has been working feverishly for the past couple of weeks to get all the little things fixed up, and all is in order.

The stonemason guys started delivering equipment a couple of days ago, and after much deliberation and comparing coloring, my parents made the final decision on the brick. Six weeks and that should be completely finished.

Next: Drywall

Latest goal for a completed home: End of November

P.S. The reason the front window is still missing is that they need it out to be able to lift some things through there with a crane.
