We've made it into November, and through one of the worst weeks work-wise Matt has had in a while.  So, it was a nice break to spend a few hours at the new house on Saturday afternoon.  It is beginning to get chilly, but the house should be completely enclosed by the end of the month.  We had some very rainy days the week before last, which was a good opportunity for Dan to put his crew on some indoor work for another project, but that turned into a week of work instead of three days.  So, not much happened on our house until last week. On Tuesday, the concrete master returned to polish the first floor.  We don't have pictures, because although the floor feels much smoother, it looks very much the same.  He will return after the interior walls are installed to wax and polish the floor.

While Michael was working on the floor downstairs, the crew started working on the interior framing upstairs, which means we have the beginnings of walls!

We also chose the color for the steel roof, and it will be delivered next Wednesday.  We'll hope for some calm days next week, since handling 3 x 44 foot pieces of steel on the roof in the wind would probably not meet OSHA standards.  Once the roof is on, they will be able to put in the windows and install the siding, which will mean the house will be completely enclosed. Until then, it would be nice if it doesn't snow.
