Last week was one of those weeks that progress seemed very slow-going. There weren’t a lot of noticeable changes because most of the work was on the systems for hvac, plumbing and electrical. Plus it was raining, of course, which never helps. But the weekend was a huge improvement- beautiful and sunny, we took full advantage of the nice weather to get some outside projects done.
We purchased a garden shed and it was delivered on Monday (finally, after weeks of delay because of the mud!), so we spent many trips with the wheelbarrow hauling rock down the hill. My husband, son and I got a work out with that job- the boys especially. I also planted 210 bulbs- because I had to get them in the ground so they didn’t go to waste (it was a late night groupon purchase by my husband).
And lastly, I put in some serious hours on sanding the beams, and I’m actually making some progress. Thank you, Natalie, for helping me in our sip and sand session 😉
Kudos to the construction crew for passing the big inspection! And today the insulation was delivered and installed by early afternoon. We ended up spending a little more to insulate all of the interior walls so it’s the first time we’ve seen “walls” in the house. No more walking in between the framing!
The sun restored my mood, but now we anticipate another long round of rain. Hopefully, within the next week, we will see the entire house sheet rocked and taped and the siding complete. We’re getting there!
