Summer 2010

Summer has come and gone and the build continues. We have been able to get a lot done in these last few months. The plumbing is complete and just waiting for the water hook up. The electric service is about 95% complete - there are a couple minor issues to troubleshoot and we will be done except for all the lighting. July we lost a lot of time due to the electric inspection. Long story there but the electrician had an inspector come out an he wouldn't inspect - this after our electrician told us there would be no problems. He tried another inspector who was a no- show. After three weeks or so I got hold of the home inspector who came out and inspected without issue. Again, it goes to prove that if you want anything done right - do it yourself! Especially in this business.

Since we are doing this ourselves, we decided to do tongue and groove paneling on the ceilings in the kitchen and great room. Since the ceiling height is 18' and 21' respectivly, getting sheets of drywall that high would have been difficult. We bought unfinshed maple board at a great price and Kathy applied the polyurethane coating to seal them. It took us quite a while to put up but looks great! Kathy ran the saw while I set the boards and nailed.

Once we got the inspection done, we had the drywall hung and now we are in the process of finishing it.
