We are getting closer, day by day. The list of open items is getting shorter and shorter each day. Lot's if pictures below to catch everyone up. Here is what has been accomplished since the last posting, the fireplace stone is done, the hardwood floor is done, the window and door trim is 99% done.
All the cabinets/ vanites have arrived, the kicthen is being installed. The appliances arrived Saturday evening. The light fixtures are about 50% complete. Lorrie and I worked on the downspout drains over the weekend and the sewage system installation has started and will be done in the next couple of days. We should also have the water line and phone line into the house this week. Next week the main stairs will be finished and the final measurements can be made for the log railing.
We are still on track to move in the first week of September. The only main house item not done may be the log railing, it took a long time to get the wide/ long hickory boards we needed for the stairs.
After move-in we will then complete the outside wood boiler pavilion and installing the boiler. The boiler is in, just don't want to have it delivered until the cement pad for it is ready, which will be in September some time, well before we need the "heat".
