Today marks our 1 month anniversary date. Things have been going relatively good since my last update.
We discovered a few more problems during demo. The sill plate on the front of the house had to be removed and replaced because of the termites. Of course that was an extra added expense. We also had to hire a guy to regrade the entire yard. The dirt was higher than the foundation by about a foot, so per King County Code we had to remove enough so that the dirt was 6inches below the foundation.
The front porch was shot down by King County because it less than 20 ft from the property line (as if they are ever going to build a monorail in front of us). So our front porch is now only going to be half of the front. It should look good!
The siding has been going up at an alarming rate. Rick and his crew have really been getting it done for us. They have finished the garage and the house with the exception of the front and the lower shingles. The whole house should have a porch and be completely sided by tuesday.
I wanted to thank Ian from Green Home Builders for his excelent work on replacing the sill plate. He did it for way under his original quote and did it right. I would highly reccomend Ian and His crew. Also thanks to Rick and his siding crew, they getting it done fast and with 22 years experience are truly professionals.

Hey B-Man,
It's Angie. Great house. Ever think of going solar on this project? Windpower? Green? That's what we are working on over here in Arrowhead. I'm on the board of Terra Verde Partners to rebuild the burned out area of Cedar Glen into an eco community. So if you need info I can send it. They have solar for cloudy days, and windpower that is a notched and spinning 5 foot pole. The government pays for half of your costs! I am going to build a straw bale home with radiant heat. Life is good. A
Burton, cruised by the project today on the bike. Bounce over to my blog and you'll know why. Anyways, looks real good. I wanna looksy when it's done.
Let's see some pictures buddy!
