Windows, Water & Wires, Wires, Wires

Once again, lots to report on this week...

Very few things in my handyman's life give him as much pleasure as an organized electrical panel!


Pot light vapor boots in the cathedral ceiling...


And here comes the water - septic tank is on the property, won't be above ground for too much longer! As a very young crew member pointed out a few days ago "that's where my pee goes" :)

Our well was also recently dug and it took 224 feet to hit the right pressure of water. Not sure if I believe it REALLY took that long, however we will grin and pay the bill! Doesn't look like much right now but eventually this will provide the house with water!


And finally, and more excitingly, windows were also installed and they are beautiful! Here are our two living room/family room windows...



Master bedroom window on the right, master bathroom window on the left...


Door to the eventual garage...


And finally, our wonderful guard dog who is already protecting our new home...


This week will include more insulation, poly & drywall - just in time for the boys to take a much needed fishing trip after this coming weekend. While they are away, the house will be taped & muded so that the finishes can start upon their return.

Happy Days!

  1. Looks great! The pictures save me a trip out - although I may take one just to see for myself. Amazing how quickly things went. What a great crew. You must be feeding them well.
