Another Day A Little Progress

Another trip to Hattiesburg provided us with a little more uplifting of spirits. At this time, any progress is good. The rains have really hindered progress lately. We usually get two days of sunshine and then rain. Fortunately, the rain did not start until around 1:30 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I was on the six hole of the golf course. Being the avid golfer that I am, I kept going until the end of the eighth hole. By then I was soaked through and through, so I quit and went back to McComb. Next trip is Thursday, so check back on Friday or Saturday for a new update.

North side view. The window openings here are ready for the windows to be installed. The windows are on order and should be arriving next week. You can see the covered porch in the very back. If you are the only visitors to our home, you can enjoy the deck as there will be a door exiting the house from this room. You will also be the nearest to the barbeque, so you may have to cook your dinner.

The front view of the house is looking east. You can see the bonus room framing above the garage. The window openings of the garage are not yet complete. They are going to be the size of the other two windows on the front. The computer room will be next to the garage. Then the front entry. The bonus room finishing will be my project. I am having the electrical and air conditioning roughed in. Also, sheetrock will be set up in the room. I am leaning toward having that work done also. I am not good at tape and bedding. I tried it once in Casper in the garage and it did not look very good, so I will leave this for the experts. After the sheet rock is in place, I will do the rest.

From this side of the house you can see more of the bonus room framing. The hole is for a window, not a door. Originally, I planned to have a golf cart. The smaller door in the garage was for this access. However, in order to be able to change the filter at floor level and not have to climb a ladder, we had to confiscate about 1 foot of that space. So now it will be used for other things. The golf course management also does not want other carts on the course.

This is the rear of the house. The window openings do not reflect the actual window sizes. You can see the covered porch area that wraps around the screened porch. You have to look hard, but you can see the screened porch area. Next time if it is not too muddy, I will try to get a better angle on the screened porch.
