Dried In - all but one....


Let's start with the so so news.... recall the short term plan from the last post? OK, scratch that... Never got posts set for roof over front door - weather issues. Venting guy is now coming tomorrow - had a "discussion" with him and now it is over 500 dollars less than the bill we got and disputed... Inspection never happened but now it should soon for plumbing and venting.... Got bid for lightweight concrete for radiant heat... geez! Glad the radiant heat is something that should pay off in the short term but again the initial investment is always tough.
OK now the good news. Other than the front door we are officially dried in! Yes, all windows, doors, garage doors and a roof are in. Wow, never thought we would see the day. We continue to forge ahead.
Don's mom will be having a couple new visitors soon - Sandra and Fred will arrive to help out on all fronts. Will be great to see them. First foreign visitors so to speak since they were here in October. Attached pics are of the heater which is about 5 days away from ending the break in period so our fires have been getting a little bigger. And, we couldn't resist and actually peeled off some of the plastic on one of the big picture windows. Since is was a fantastic sunset we just did it..... we will cover it back up when we plaster and paint, but we just couldn't resist. It was a good thing.... The sun continues to inch northward everyday. It is beginning to get closer and closer to the islands directly in front of the house. Can't wait for that! All for now. Good Night!
