This past weekend My dad and I finished installing the siding on the house. I chose to use 3/8 inch smart trim that comes in 4x8 sheets, because of its price durability and weight. Once I get it trimmed out and painted it will look really good. I am in the process of buying a truck that can pull my house. Please pray something comes along.

Here is the progress of my house. It has taken alot of work and has negatively impacted my school work but it is worth it. This weekend I hope to enclose the wheel wells, work on the front porch, build the interior walls, cut a hole for access to the loft and build a ladder in order to do so. I am focusing on items that do not require much money. Hopefully these will be complete and I can finsih purchasing a door and windows. Once this is accomplished I will start on the roofing and siding. Here we go

walls, roof, and loft are done

Alot of pregress has taken place over the last couple of weeks. I was able to build the walls and trusses off site and put them on at my friends house. I have decked and sheathed the exterior of the house and wrapped the entire structure in tar paper. I must say that I did not picture the house being so large. It is right a 13 ft tall and almost wont fit underneath the powerlines in the front of the drive way. Tommorow I am pickingup four of the eight windows for $15 each in Paden Ok. Thos will hopefully go in this friday night as well as my interior walls, the wheel wells, and my deck. I will upload pictures soon to show the progress that has taken place. I just found out that I am headed tp New Hampshire this summer and the the thought of taking my house with me is exciting. We will see.
