The house is starting to come together, as we work on the interior. Started plumbing and electrical. Before we got to that though, we framed in the attic space on the two sides of the second floor. (There is no attic above the great room and office.) Unlike the attic space in the house weContinue reading “Coming Together”

Framing Done!
OMG! A second blog post in the same month? What’s happening? Is business that slow? No, but we did get a lot done this month, and we’re ready for our framing inspection! Last time I showed you the west side of the upstairs that is the little one’s bedroom and the main bath. Now weContinue reading “Framing Done!”
It’s looking like a house!
Hello everyone. I know it’s been a few weeks again where lots have happened, but my business has been growing which left little time for writing until after the HST deadline. The first thing we got done was to get some windows installed. We hired some help to install the three sliding doors and theContinue reading “It’s looking like a house!”
Slowly Getting There
Hello everyone. I realize it’s been over a month since the last post, and I apologize for that. My new business is going well and the weather has kept progress on the house slow. Since finishing sheeting the roof for the covered porch on the north side we started working on the covered decks onContinue reading “Slowly Getting There”
Roofing in the Cold
I’m sorry. I know it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been forgetting the blog when we come in for the night. Whether that’s been because I’ve been cold or we come in earlier so there’s time for more things inside, or maybe we’ve just given ourselves too much to do, I’m notContinue reading “Roofing in the Cold”
Starting the Roof
Weather and short days are affecting how much we can get done in a day. Recent snowfall had us spending the better part of the day simply shoveling snow out of the house. I’m sure long after the house is done I’ll be picturing it full of snow. We did get done all the itemsContinue reading “Starting the Roof”
More Floor and More Walls
Apparently, I haven’t written one of these yet this month. That’s bad. We’ve made a lot of progress since the last blog continuing with things already started. First, we got the subfloor installed on the second floor. Not a lot to say about this (other than, wow that view from the second floor!) but it’sContinue reading “More Floor and More Walls”
Up Goes Some Walls!
The progress on the house right now is very visual and noticeable, which has been great, but we’re still racing against Mother Nature, and given the snow (yes snow) we had this week, she might be winning. Since the last blog, we’ve been putting up the first-floor walls. The first one we sheeted it firstContinue reading “Up Goes Some Walls!”
A Floor With a View
Progress is happening fairly fast now. First off, sorry this hasn’t been a weekly blog. Between some late nights and long days building the house and time spent trying to get my bookkeeping business going, I don’t always have the capacity to write this blog on a schedule. So until things calm down this isContinue reading “A Floor With a View”
