The windows were installed today. We went with the Andersen 400 Series windows with a sandstone colored exterior clad.

Wrap It Up
The Tyvek house wrap was put on today.
The Woofing Crew
The roofing crew has arrived! They started laying the roofing felt and will be installing shingles soon. We chose to go with a Tamko Heritage IR (impact resistant) shingle in natural timber color. The impact resistant shingles have a polyester fabric reinforcement which makes for a stronger shingle, and we also get a discount on our homeowners’ insurance for them.
And here is another one of Colt’s crew, his yellow lab, Jade.
Well, Well, Well…Look Who Decided to Show Up
Today they finally drilled our well! They drilled 239 ft. deep before hitting shale. The well has 5″ casing and will have a Grundfos SQE constant pressure system with variable frequency drive pump delivering 22 gallons per minute with an 8.5 gallon Flexcon JetRite II pressure tank.
Handy Mani
The plumbers were on the job site today getting things roughed in. They set the tubs and shower and also mounted the mani-block water manifold. The mani-block distributes water evenly to all of the pex water lines running through the house, each with their own individual shut-off valve.
