New Stuff

While we were gone the exterior trim was completed and the gas line installed. Also ice/water shield and tar paper were put on the roof in order to keep things dry inside.

This is really getting exciting! Thanks for all of your interest and comments.

Concrete FLoor

The roofline is finished. Next week we will get facia and sofit - and maybe windows. Soon we can turn on the heat!

FINALLY! We've got a floor in the lower level! Now it feels like they can't just knock the whole thing apart and haul it off.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We are off to Kansas for the holiday.

Turn'in up the Heat

Today they attached the tubing that will heat the floor in the lower level.

The plan is to pour concrete on Friday. I'm crossing my fingers.... and everything else I can think of.

Another Small Step

The lower level has been graded and insulation put in place. Next is the heating tubing and concrete.

Its been cold and snowy so far this week, but its supposed to warm up a bit.

Chomping at the bit doesn't cover it for me!

Adding Some Character

Two new things....

1) Addition of structure to the eaves.

2) The lower floor has been excavated and is ready for insulation, the heating lines, and concrete. I'm hoping for friday.

Walls-N-Beams

Yesterday and today they erected all the interior walls on the main floor. Some rooms look bigger than I expected and some smaller. The beams - all wrapped up on the floor, will be used outside on the eaves.

We also went to Denver today to pick out our countertops. I about went buggy, but I really like what we chose.

No More Shoveling the Living Room!!!

This was taken this morning, so the roofing was done on Tuesday. The sun goes down so early now that it is dark before I get home in the evening.

Tomorrow we go to Denver to pick out counter tops. Should be interesting.
