Moving forward


I guess I haven't quite kept up with the house progress here like I planned. Building a house, everyday family, and a full time job are to blame - or at least are my excuse. I will, however, pat myself on the back for keeping up with a fairly decent photo diary on my Flickr.com site.

Satterwhite did their part and left in mid October. Since then we've had the roof put on, the plumbing done, AC installed, built a pumphouse (still needs work), done most of the electrical wiring, had really cool insulation installed, stained much of the cedar and logs, dug and filled trenches, and a whole lot more. It feels like a ton of work, but we still have so much left to do. Once the electrical wiring and some simple framing carpentry is completed, we will be ready to hang the drywall. We're hoping that things will really move fast after that is completed. Our goal was to be in the house by Christmas. That then became by the new year. Neither are going to happen, but hopefully it won't be long afterward. We have until the end of July, but please say a prayer that it won't take that long!
