The end is getting closer all the time!!!




Electric trim out started this past week and we have permanent lights and receptacles in some areas.  Plumbing trim is 50% and HVAC is complete.  Painting and decking were delayed on Sunday due to weather.  Doors are set on the 1st and 2nd floors.  We were able to dig the deck piers on Saturday afternoon just in time for the rain to turn everything into a sloppy mess.  We strategically left the holes open and the concrete bags next to them so everything would be pre-wetted.  We also wanted to practice building a lean-to keep the rain from ruining the finish.  Partway into the rainstorm the wind blew the lean-to’s over so I enjoyed the opportunity to get outdoors and re-secure them in a downpour and witness a lightning strike blow a tree in half about 150 yards from me.  (Don't you just LOVE Jason's sarcastic sense of humor...)

Siding Finished AND painted!

Cabinets are all complete!
Siding was finished on Saturday afternoon – finally!  Painted some more on the outside, set the kitchen and office cabinets, and the deck was framed.
