Man, fall just keeps on rollin. Just a great run of weather and colors of the leaves has made this one enjoyable fall. Wish my productivity had been better, but I'm starting to wrap several items up and it will be time for insulation soon. One thing I have accomplished is to gather the machinery and tools needed to do the fine woodworking. I have a thickness planer for roughsawn lumber, a joiner for making smooth and straight edges, and a 12" compound sliding miter saw. With these 3 tools I can mill just about anything I want, I just wish I had a better tablesaw. I have finished milling all the jambs for the ext. doors, and have begun to assemble them. This is alot of work, but to me, it's not a custom house without special jambs for all of the doors. The big item of the day was that the big plate glass windows were installed. They look awesome of course and it closes 2 huge holes in the house. The last vinyl window came in for the master bedroom, so when I complete the ext. doors, the house will be completely shut in. I will get the ext. doors done this week, and then just a few small items before insulation. It's time to get that done, I don't want to fall behind in my schedule too much. To do the sheatrock I will have to have the heat on, so I am digging the electric and water mains into the house later this week. I gotta push hard on this becouse I don't want the sheatrock delayed. The peak of the fall is past, but there is still pockets of color out there. Everyday, there is a new part of our veiw of the gorge that opens up exposing more cliffs. I wish I could do some hiking, but I gotta stick with it.
