Moving Along

It’s been a long three days but we’ve made some real visible progress. We installed the stairs to the front porch, got the front IMG_20160218_172811551porch deck “mostly” then late yesterday afternoon put in two windows and the first layer of some of the siding. For security reasons I chose small windows that we mounted rather high in the wall. It’s hard to tell from this pic but the front door is pretty wide. I might decide to cut it back in the future but for now I’ve went with large so I can move equipment in and out easily.

Another line item on my ever growing “To Do” list.IMG_20160218_172823294 My plan was to spend the weekend out there but I’ll have to burn Saturday getting everything ready then hopefully drive out before dark. Of course that depends on whether we finish the siding plus seal the place well enough to heat with a kerosene heater. I would be OK in a sleeping bag but Ziggy absolutely refuses to sleep in one.IMG_20160218_172627080_HDR

Needless to say I’m getting a bit excited and looking forward to getting settled in a bit. There’s still a mega ton of work ahead to get the place finished but then it will never be truly finished.

Thank god I'm a country dawg.

  1. Looks like the dream is starting to take shape. That is some kind of sturdy structure. Hopefully Marcia will gets to feeling good enough to make the trip up there. If not I just might have to sneak off for a couple of days.

    1. I’m building with the idea that it will handle a hurricane. I certainly hope it will because my old white haired azz will be in it.

      I really hope Marcia gets to feeling better and can make the trip. There’s a lot of very pretty country here she would enjoy.
