Almost done!

We should have a CO (Certificate of Occupancy) this week! Which means they will connect the electricity either this week or next week. We'll be going up this weekend and starting the move of all the furniture, kitchen stuff, etc from the old house. Can't wait!

Anyway, here are the latest photos from this past weekend......

The skylights in the porch roof - didn't he do a beautiful job with the ceiling!


The cathedral ceiling of the screened porch - we'll be adding the screen next spring after we stain the woodwork.


The French doors into the living room....


The beautiful fall colors - past peak, but still beautiful!


Can anyone tell me what Tom is doing? First correct answer gets a voucher for a weekend visit at the Redd Roost!!!

And the roof goes on......

The roof went up on Saturday - well, almost all of it anyway.

They've got just a little more to do on the back side of the house. The door to the porch, and the siding to finish the outside are on order and will hopefully be here next week. They got the tank from the well installed under the house last week also. So we're making progress. I spent early morning Sunday up on the deck all by myself - it was so peaceful and quiet, and I took a picture of the sunrise....

I promised a picture of my Charlie Brown chair, so here it is! With a swatch of the material I might use to recover it....

Construction update

Progress has been made! If you notice the new title photo, we've got a deck and most of a porch! The porches have been finished this week, and the roofers should start next week. Next week, the well will be hooked up to the pump under the house, and they will install the heat pump. What's left? The electricity and plumbing have to be hooked up and a few other odds and ends. But the goal is to be finished by the end of the month. We're really hoping to be able to spend Thanksgiving up there.....



On the furnishings front, I'm working on my chairs for the dining room, and I bought another used chair. It's sort of a "Charlie Brown" chair - it looked like it needed a home, and I think will be perfect to sit next to the hearth. I'll recover it of course. I'll add a picture in my next post.
