We started on the inside walls that lead to the enclosed rear patio. 



This will have french doors leading out  from the master bedroom to the enclosed patio.

Short weekend

Weekend before last, one of our sons came in from Maryland with his girlfriend so we went to the San Antonio Rodeo, the Riverwalk, the Alamo, Mission San Juan and other tourist attractions  so we did not get a lot done on the property.

On Friday I picked up all the materials for the front porch and carport and installed a temporary electrical service for the RV inside the building.



On Saturday we installed the living room windows and some more of the siding on the front of the building.

 



 

First weekend working on the building

We brought the RV up on Thursday and set it up on the property so we could use the truck to bring up a trailer load of tools and materials on Friday evening.



We headed up to the property Friday after work and we unloaded the trailer full of materials and tools and set up a work area.

Saturday morning we started on the front wall of the living area.

After battling rain most of the day we were able to frame up the front door opening, the front wall of the living room and install some of the wall sheeting.

Sunday we framed up the rest of the front of the building and sheeted the outside of the walls.

Monday we started the morning with a storm and rain but were able to move the RV into it's new home.

Once the rain quit we installed the window for the front bathroom, the front bedroom windows, the front door and started installing the house wrap and some of the Hardie trim.

We still need to install the living room windows  but his is what it looked like at 2:00 p.m. today when we headed home.

Garage doors are in and we have electric to the building

 

 

 

 

Day Four of the Building Construction.


By noon today they had all the walls, roof and trim complete

Living area and enclosed porch side of the building.  We will eventually have 9 feet of windows in the right corner of this wall.

 Rear of the building with only a couple of the windows in place.
In the future there will be 18 feet of windows and a door off the enclosed porch (left corner) that will look out to a large wood deck.

RV bay and shop side of the building.  This side will not get any windows

Tall opening is for our RV/shop and the middle opening is for a double car garage.

Far right opening is where the front wall of the living area will be and will have a covered porch.

View from the street just outside the gates.

We will also have a carport over the double garage door.

Inside looking back towards where the enclosed porch will be.

Continuous metal roof sheets.

All they have left are the two garage doors and then we take over and finish the rest.
