I'm Back!

It,s full on, leaf on now, and the Gorge has taken on a new look that's definately differant, but still really cool. It's snake time also, and you don't go outside at night without a light or you might step on a copperhead. The creek is still running strong, but we need rain real bad to fill up the river and keep the creek going as long as possible. I cut out a few trees yesterday to enhance the view, and I still have alot of thinning to do, but the treehouse effect is really cool when all the leaves are on. I am working on interior woodwork now, and Scott and Mike will be joining me for a couple weeks starting on monday. Our goals are to complete all window and wall woodwork, wrap any exposed beams, build the oven cabinet, install all ceiling mouldings, and install the 1/2 logs at the picture windows. Only after completing all these items will we begin on hardwood flooring. The plan is to completely finish all of the projects that we already have material for, and then reassess our situation. That would leave us with 2 major projects left; 1. the septic system, 2. kitchen cabinets, both of which can be completed rather quickly. We are very ready to move in, but we have to be patient right now as the whole thing draws to a close. The tile showers and floors are going in next week and should take around 2 weeks to complete,  after that we can install vanities and commodes. There are still a number of items left to complete outside, but nothing that will take more than a couple days. I am wtill working on being able to post pictures here, hopefully I'll get it figured out. I'm just about out of the funk I was in over the end of hogs football, and am starting to be more productive. I hope Matt can enjoy all of that, but that passion for me is done and over, thankfully I have so many more things that are so much more fulfilling than wasting time on that mess. Pray for rain, we need more river trips. Later RJ
