Big changes

Since my last post we've been very busy on the house. Much of the trim is now finished on the exterior. The sidewalks have now all been poured. New fence separates the yard from the driveway. More rail road tracks have been laid and the driveway has been blacktopped. We also laid turf on most of the dirt, finishing off the yard. Shrubs and flowers are in place as well. The place is looking pretty good.

There's still lots to do and we will continue working as we have time. Stay tuned for more...

Get ready... set.... GO!

With spring quickly approaching the days are getting longer - or at least the daylight hours. But with the shop full of work and the house requiring lots of time and attention the days seem far too short at times. The good news is we are getting lots done. The new house is coming along nicely.

Tomorrow, (Monday) the ventilation crew will be working on the air exchange system, putting in all of the grills and vents. The fellows from Richard's Plumbing and Heating will also be working on the infloor heat and control systems. The electricians from C and S Electric will be on hand making the final connections for the LED lighting system as well. And the Boughen boys will be putting in trim all week. We'll do our best to work around them spashing on the paint and laying the tile floors. 

We are also busy in the shop with all kinds of cool projects including three more contractor lawn signs that will soon be out front of the house. They include Boughen Contracting, Marr-Tech Kitchens and Turner Closets.

It is going to be BUSY - just as I like it!

Time for doors

One of the huge benefits of the house project is the wonderful people we meet along the way. They come to work on our dream and in the process become friends. They each add their unique skills and talents to the project making it better in the process. 

Tomorrow a new friend begins work on the house. Brent Boughen is a finish carpenter and his first job will be to hang the many doors through the house. Once that project is done he will help us with some of the finishing work as well.

Tomorrow the rooms will begin to get their doors and the house will change yet again.
