Fireplaces and Windows

Summer Winding Down

It's the 1st of September and fall is on the way. The air is cooling down quick, theres still a little hot left but I can feel the change. Please let it rain, I know personally of a raindance being held this weekend on the mountain, so let's see how they do. Alot is being done now, small projects that take only hours, not days. Roof is 100% complete, fireplaces are being set and installed, blocking for insulation, windows installed, chases for plumber and hvac work built, and the plumber has been busy roughing it all in. I need  to finish the deck railing, and start the window and door frames. Mike the hvac guy came by today and is going to start working in the next few days.  The septic system is approved by the state, the man said it was the worst ground he had seen in 5 years. Thank goodness they approved it, the system will just cost more. Soon the electrician will be on site and the mechanical will be wraping up.I think in 3 weeks I could be ready for insulation. I need to be working on the inside no later than 1st of October. One of the 2 best times of the year is approaching , make your way to the mountain fast. SYOTR

Shed Roof Complete

Update

OK, This week we will do the following; complete all componants of the entire roof system including all trims and ridges, install the fireplace systems, install vinyl windows, order all plate glass, complete the remaining soffitt and facia, and continue working on the railing.  T he weather is supposed to be cooler for a couple days, so maybe we can be very productive. I called the mill, and Scott told me the logs have not been cut yet. So it's going to be awhile longer until we get posts. The plumber is on the job, and the HVAC man is next, yeehaw. Robyns Dad, Jim and his wife Dot came by yesterday to check out the house, and I believe they were very impressed. Jim said it would be like being on vacation everyday living here. I told him that is exactly the way I designed it. The awesome room and deck are what people seem to focus on, and the prevailing sentiment is 'wow'. This area is like one big indoor/outdoor room where you can see everything from every place you might stand or sit. The effect is quite like a treehouse. One of the coolest features is that sitting on the outside deck you will be able to see the indoor fireplace, again blending the outside with the inside. The huge, massive projects are complete for the most part, and now we are doing all the small things to get ready for the next phase. We still have some decks to install, but they are a fraction of what we have done, and it wont take long to complete. Well, it's time to get at it. I'll keep the updates coming, becouse change comes at a rapid fire pace from now on. SYOTR.
