Half way home


Just about three months in, about half way thru the project timeline.  The exterior is mostly done: roofing, siding, most of the doors. 


The well has been drilled. Inside plumbers and electricians and HVAC crews are expertly navigating around each other to get the guts in place.  Cabinets have been ordered for the kitchens and baths. 

And after driving to numerous showrooms and sitting in countless tubs, we've got that selection done so the framing, wiring, and plumbing in the master bath can be finished.

Everything's going well


Lots of things happening at once.  It's good to see so many talented tradesmen working around each other to keep things rolling along.

Outside, the siding and trim is going up.  The exterior doors are in. Inside, the HVAC pipes have been run. The electrician is starting to snake wires around the walls.  Working alongside him is the plumber, running pipes through our 3D maze of studs.


Our well has just been drilled.  Let's hope there's water in them thar hills.

Hmm...I not sure how I'm going to fit a bucket and rope down that pipe.

Floored


Concrete pour,
   basement floor.
Now we wait
   and watch it cure.

Yard work...


Now this is how you chop and stack wood...


Personally, I wanted to take care of it with some lighter fluid and marshmallows.
