First, a
rattlesnake update: The creature was 40 inches long and had three rings of rattles. So, by Texas standards, it was a mid-size snake. It was slithering across our driveway when spotted by a worker and dispatched to its reward. We learned our assistant project manager saw a snake the other day, so they must be getting stirred up by the warm weather and activity. Time to pull out the heavy boots!!!!
In addition to snakes, we have lots of spiders....most of them are harmless. It doesn't take much looking to spot a "daddy long legs" spider crawling around.

The big news on the construction front today is the installation of construction doors. We are very close to being "dried in" since the roof will be completed by the end of the week.

We chose to have a non-traditional way to enter the attic on one side of the house. We did not want a pull down attic stair inside the house, so Leslie designed an opening on the outside of the house. When it is completed, there will be a deadbolt with no door knob and it will be painted so that it blends in with the stucco.

Danny, the electrician, is close to finishing the wiring in the house. The interior looks like it has sprouted lots of yellow vines!!
The yellow vines are even sprouting through the walls.

Another sort of yellow is blooming all over the ranch - the cactus flowers are in full bloom and are gorgeous.
We look forward to whatever surprises tomorrow brings to our project!
