Spring updates




February was a loss for production on the house. We had way too much snow - more than what has been seen since the 50's. Walking the driveway was very common over the entire winter but February was the worst!!
John had a new contractor bid finishing the outside of the house. That just got finished Thursday. The weather has been rather nice since the last snow 3 weeks ago. The remaining snow finally melted this week. There was about a 6' pile behind the house from John shoveling the roof. There isn't even a puddle now because it's been sunny and ridiculously HOT for 3 days. We had 80 degree temps! Hoping this was just a fluke an not a trend!

We took advantage of the weather and I painted 2 of the 4 fiberglass doors. John wiped the stain after it dried a bit. They are looking good! I'm by no means an expert painter so we have a lot of touch-up work that we will have to do. I'm thinking about doing something like stain glass treatment around the edges of the glass to add something to the door. Will look into but want to make sure the view is not obstructed.

Now we have to focus on finishing the inside of the house. We are going to have to talk to folks about plumbing, drywalling the peaks and possibly the walls, and possibly finishing the wiring once it's fully roughed in. The only rough-in left is the master bath, dryer, washer and the recessed lights.
