Working on the soffits, sealing them up for the winter.One of my ideas about heating the house and cooling the house, is the air inside the truss is a good thermal barrier in itself, in winter we will close the soffits so the air that is warming up from the sun beating down on the roof will help keep the cold from the outside air from entering into the attic space as much as it would if they were open and flowing with air.
In the summer the soffits will be opened so the air can vent out and the reflective insulation will help keep the heat between the trusses and the roof deck.
Mary's Christmas gift from last year, we finally got it out of storage and hooked up. it is an Induction Stove, with an extra large Convection Oven and warming drawer.
The tub is still in its crate, but in time it will go in this corner.
The drywall in the bathroom is all hung, we still need a door, I'll have to go out to the greenhouse and pick one out, find its woodwork, and hang it. 
The windows and doors are all sealed tight, insulated, and swinging beautifully. I doo still need to work on two lock sets to make them smoother operating, but they are all lockable and we love the code locks, no more fumbling for keeys, just touch the buttons, and the door unlocks.....nice.
The main entry door, Mary has done a wonderful job sealing them all.
Diningroom windows.
Kitchen windows, and our motion sensor porch light.
