"Follow the orange brick road..."

There was a lot of activity at the house today, both inside and out. There were workers everywhere! There were a couple of guys working up around the chimney area. I don't think that area has been completely sealed up yet. A couple of other guys were covering the soffit areas.
The bricks are going up! They started on the end of the house where the office and guest room/guest bathroom are going to be. This is also the end of the house where they started with the hardie plank siding, so both materials can be seen together in this shot...
Around to the back of the house, the siding and trim continue to go up. The angled walls will be brick.
On the inside, it looked like the plumber was finishing up some things and sheets of drywall have been placed in each room. It didn't occur to me that they might be starting the drywall on the top floor until I was halfway back down the driveway to the car, so I didn't go up to see.
It's exciting to have so many different things going on all at once! If they keep going at this pace, we'll have to start going out there more often or we'll miss something!
