Our New Home Update

We are making progress on our new home. We are now at the point of roughing in all the plumbing, heating and electrical. My hubbby and brother in law are takling this big project!
The Amish are just getting started on the first floor framing.
Day 1: the framing is complete in 7 hours.
Day 2: The attic trusses were put up and the roof was completed (pic doesn't show this) It is amazing to see the Amish work. They work like hogs and use alot of workers so that they can get the job done in one day. They all have Mexican "drivers" because they don't drive. That is their driver in the bottom left hand corner. I will pay them 25$/hr each. So for 8 men times 8 hours that will equal $1600 for one day! Man they make good money!
