When Dad left to go home, even more was complete!

Dad finished the "main drain" line for all the plumbing before he left for home. He said, and Russ agreed, it is the most difficult part of the plumbing!

Here is the back of the house as of now. The big opening on the left side of the photo will be double doors to go out onto the (nonexistant) deck. There is another door at the other end of the building to exit onto the deck from the master bathroom.

And here is the front of the house, with all the windows installed.

If we had the front door and the double doors for the back, the house would be "dried in" as Russ calls it. The roof is on the addition; we went with standing seam roofing and will change the rest of the building to the same type of roofing when money permits.

A lot Lot LOT got done while Dad was here and I cannot thank him enough. He provided motivation, some financial resources, and helping hands while he was here. We could not have gotten this far without his assistance.

I would also like to thank Gary. He stayed for a week and helped out every day. He didn't ask for anything in return. He wanted to be able to hunt for hogs and deer. He didn't get either. But I think he was thankful for the work and friendship.
