Roofing & Septic Field

Plenty of progress this week but plenty wet on site as well raining pretty much every day.  Late Friday last week we had the crane show up for a preview to review the plan for the proposed lift on Monday.  Conditions were a bit risky but we were prepared and decided to lift the roof into place just prior to dusk.  All went well and the roof was lifted into place just as planned. On Monday & Tuesday we did some of the interior walls, and worked on filling out the balance of the roof.  Thursday morning we removed the old hay shed, it took about 30 minutes to move the lawn tractor and boat but tool less than 2 minutes to remove the roof.  Thursday & Friday we installed the septic tank and field system, while the remainder of the crew installed the balance of the roof sheathing.  By the time of this writing on Sunday we have 60% of the roof shingles installed.  The plan for next week is to complete the roof, install the balance of the windows, install all drain lines and supply lines for the plumbing and install the duct work for the furnace system. On Sunday the boys decided to use the rock pile to line the road and protect the septic field, then used the remaining rocks to line the driveway and the road to the neighbours house.
