Septic? Check. Shingles? Check. Drywall? Check.

Septic is done, drywall is done, shingling the crow's nest is done, insulation is done, chimney is nearing completion.  We continue to make progress day after day and more exciting accomplishments are in line. It shouldn't be long now before were actually in the home stretch.  I still can't believe it's all happening.

More Progress

Chris and I went up late Friday night and spent a quick 24 hours at the house before coming home. The main goal of this trip was to pick flooring, but of course, we also wanted to check on all the progress.

It seems a few days go by and everything changes up there.  The roof has been just about completed, siding is progressing, the chimney has begun, insulation is ongoing as is electrical, the septic is just about done, and we got some pretty great samples (shingle color, floor color, and potential walnut counters).

We did make it to Bennington to check out carpet and tile, but we were quickly overwhelmed and rendered pretty much useless.  It didn't stop us from spending two hours there being indecisive though.  We walked out having narrowed down the carpet and picked out a dark gray tile for the mudroom and bathrooms. We still have to pick out shower tile and finalize our carpet choice, but we'll get to that, I guess.

Next up is drywall and it starts Monday!  I don't think Chris and I have many more nights in the 10x12 cabin.  A lot of good times there, but many more to come in the house!

Up, Up, and Away

Don't blink because you'll miss something happening at the land.  Here's a list of the recent work that has been done: roof insulation, all windows/ sliders installed, trim painted and installed, second floor balcony finished, hot water heater/ burner installed, and the painter is there as I write this painting the clapboards that will be installed next week.  The standing seam roof goes up on Monday, the mason begins the chimney next week, and interior insulation.  Then, drywall.  We're probably 1 week away from the exterior being just about finished.  Unreal progress.
