Its comming along got a lot of the wireing in over the winter, and got the front and upper windown in.

this is my heat this past winter. that 55gal barel stove did a great job. after about 2 hours we had to open the doors to let some cold air in and when the temps got down to the single digets it kept it about 55 deg in there and that is with no insulation on the walls!

This pick is from standing in the loft area looking down the hall to my room, the bathroon is on the left and a storage area on the right and the stairs going down next to that.

This is in my room looking to the back of the house the stairs are to the left . there are now windows in here but i dont have a pick.

The two windows on the front porch the front door is in the right of the pick. the post (6x6) in the left of the photo is 27 feet long goes from the pad to the roof 1 piece. Jeromy helped me set that one it was a bugger. that corner of the porch is 12 feet off the pad the post sets on and the pad is 4 feed in the soil.

Tigger-FYI...6 or 8 years ago, my partner & I were building a house for a client..partner got in a hurry & had the insulation blown in on the outside walls before the siding was on (just had osb)..got wet..had to replace it all..cost us thousands (& I'm still pissed.. )

(tyvec wasn't on yet either)

Yea i have heard that but i plan on having the siding on before i do any of the insulation inside. Need to let it dry out really good first. I'm doing most of the building my self so its slow and the winter got me before i could get it covered.

House is looking good Tigger!, rains always been the worst enemy of builders. Especially when you get them moments when you really don't want it to rain, like most of the time lol. Thanks for posting the pictures Tigger.
