trailer-ish

This picture makes it look so like a trailer, all white with no windows, long with a deck... Anyway, this is the backside. The deck is really nice. Much nicer than I expected. Roberto did the railing himself, and did a great job with cutting the deck boards to fit around the posts. I think all the porches are going to be very pleasant and special spaces. The final decision on the surfaces is kiln-dried 2x6's on the front, and eventually tile on the screened. The front should be fine as far as feeling like a wooden floor instead of a deck, and tile on the screened will be practical and maybe I can pick a fun design.
Roberto expects to be done tomorrow. The windows from the lumber yard and from Habitat are onsite, and the new ones should be delivered this afternoon.
Newest on the electrical - one guy will set the pole, but we need the electric company to come and tell us where. The this guy will do the house electric, but as a side job. I got another bid that was not much higher from a full-time electrician, but we're hoping to find someone that will do the schematic and let Rob do the labor. Same with the AC. If we can buy a unit, or have someone buy it for us, Rob runs the duct work, then we get someone to come hook it up and charge it. It will come together - we'll find people, we'll find the money... That seems to be the Larkin way.
My friend and I are taking our kids to the site after school to see how much havoc they can wreak. These are the same kids that found it entertaining to stamp on fireant hills yesterday...
