The Short Term Plan







Not too much new to report tonight but just felt like getting on. Deb is sawing logs and I will soon join. Been a challenge running around lately. OK, the short term plan is this.... Plumbers will finish rough-in this week. Kevin will line out Don for the "awning roof" that goes over the front door, and then Josh will construct with Don's help. Venting will be done tomorrow. Next will be a mechanical inspection. If all goes well, we will call for framing inspection. If we can get before the weekend we will work on corrections from inspection during the weekend. If not we work on next week after work. Once we get framing inspection we will start installing the radiant heating. After that comes insulation. Then, sheet rocking/taping - that will go with our plastering of interior walls. All of this will take some time since we plan to do some of the interior plastering/stuccoing ourselves..at least 6 weeks. While this is going on we will also begin playing with colors, make a decision on fixtures and kitchen cabinets, and tie it all together with carpeting and floor tile. WOW it sure does not get any easier as we near the finish line.
Here are some misc pics and even one of playing with photoshop to see what some colors might be. Don't get excited with the photo-it was only for fun but it does help a bit to play with ideas......

Deb and Don,
Love the pix, esp. the 1 of the heater and the dining room windows. I can just picture us sitting down to a scrumptous meal with that heater pumping out the warmth (and the baked goodies!).
Been missing you 2 a lot lately, esp. this weekend for some reason. Lisa is sick with a bad cold. I'm just back from OC practice and catching up on correspondence.
Hope to c u soon, Lisa most likely in early April
xoxo
