Visible Changes...

Although it would seem progress has been slow, a lot has been done. It just isn't as visible. But we will start seeing a lot of changes fast once again. Our move in date is definitely no longer in the sunny, dry late summer/early fall months. We are told to maybe plan on Turkey in the new house. Ouch. Right in the middle of cyclocross season.

The foam insulation was blown in. This place is air tight.


My younger sister Cathy was out for a visit and a tour last week.
The front pivot door is amazing. It was supposed to be opaque, but I think I will leave it clear. I got to see how it was going to work today.

The rear accordion door is AMAZING!!!

The skylight has also been installed. Check out the blue sky today!!!

Not much to report...

The progress is still moving along, but it is just not as visible. All the stuff is being put in the walls before insulation, the fireplaces are in place, they put in a few more windows. The big thing happening right now is the floors are being polished. We are having exposed cement floors on the main floor and they are taking off the top layer to expose the rock in it and make it really smooth. This kind of gives you the idea:


The chainring idea in the garage is proving a bit challenging. But it is just a garage, right?

Fireplaces are in place.
