a few windows and drainage pipes are in and just the other day they put the insulation down. This way I'm not losing heat from the slab into the ground.

It's been cold as hell and windy too this week... But it's supposed to get back in to the 30's early next week :woot: 8)

Pex tubing layed over the insulation

Image
Concrete truck came on Dec 15th

Image
Then I had to wait 10 days for it to cure. I was out of town so I waited 15 days.

Image
Then they got the shingles on.

Image
And it snowed....

Image
Then siding, cold weather doesn't slow them down a bit.

Image
Door seals...

Image
And it's all done! It passes inspection a few days later.

Image
Our driveway is a mess! The yard has a lot of sitting water around the building & driveway. That's gonna have to wait till spring.

Image
All moved in! Well, for now... I'm keeping as much as I can at my parent's place & in my basement until I get everything done on the interior.
I'm going with OSB on the walls. White sheet metal on the ceiling, and galvanized sheet metal for the bottom 4' of the walls (kind of like Chipotle has)
I'm going to order everything this week because prices go up in a couple of weeks. Then I'll be doing the electric & plumbing in the meantime.
I'm not going to bother with the heating for now... It's going to be warming up in a couple months, so I'll have 6 months to look around for a deal on a water heater.
