A So Cal Girl in the Desert

More progress on the house!!! Yesterday when my husband dropped our son off at school, he saw workers putting exterior sheeting on the bottom story of the house. We think the sheeting is the last step before the Pre-drywall Orientation, or PDO, when we walk through the house and make sure that all the structural and electrical options we selected are correct. After that, they put in the insulation, stucco, then the drywall. After that they paint and install flooring, cabinets, etc. Then we're almost there!!! Here are some pictures of how it looks now...

Here is the front of the house yesterday. Our first look at it with sheeting on!


Here's the back of the house as it looked yesterday.


Here is the entrance as of yesterday.


And then today we saw scaffolding up. Ready for the second story! Here's the front of the house with scaffolding.


And the back. A pretty impressive sight. I wouldn't want to climb up on that stuff!


And here's the entrance...totally blocked by scaffolding.


We're hoping that tomorrow we'll see some sheeting on the upper story!
