I wanted to open this update with a construction video of the first day of siding installation, but that is not meant to be. When the siding technician came out to the house on Friday to train the crew, he discovered that we did not have the necessary stainless steel screws. So no siding was installed. The screws will show up on Tuesday. Big sigh.

Meanwhile, work continues on the heating system. The HVAC crew believes that they have just one more week until they are finished. The construction crew took advantage of the lack of screws to start work on the two (side by side) utility rooms that will contain the air handling units, electrical systems and water heater. Here is the side that contains the air handling units.

And here is the heating systems seen from the side (a wall be added where that board is currently in the foreground).

Outside the house, more fire retardant paint was added to the deck. They need a few more coats before we can install the deck surface.

Meanwhile, we had another afternoon of pulling invasive plants. At this point we are removing mostly ground cover plants. Daphne thinks we have one more session to go for the year.

While I was there I took some pictures since the foliage is near peak.

Next week, finish HVAC, start siding and work on the electrical system.
