While it has been dry, the temp has been great and the air has been dry also, truly this spring has had awesome weather. Problem is, we need rain, not just a little, a lot. But the dry air has meant that we have cool nights, and I have taken advantage and had a fire every night on the awesome deck. The outdoor fireplace is so awesome, I can have small fires even during burn bans, and I will really miss them during july and august which are the only months that are really too hot to hang outside at night. The next couple days will bring the hottest days so far this summer, so the dog days are upon us. Steele Creek here I come! I gotta keep after it though, I have 8 weeks before vacation to mostly complete this whole enchilada, so the pressure is on. Septic guys are finally coming in 2 weeks and then I can hook up all the final plumbing fixtures except the kitchen, and the last big outside project is the front porch. After completing the porch, we are ready for the rest of the rock work inside and out. But for now, I must stay focused on interior woodwork because it is very time consuming and I am the only one to do it. My next projects are; 1. build entertainment cabinet, 2. build valance over cooktop, 3. trim out remaining windows and ext. doors, 4. build shelves in master bath, and 5. then complete the rest of the walnut flooring downstairs. My timeline is about 30 construction days to complete 90% of whats left, then whatever it takes to complete whats left on a punch list. Wish me luck!!, and have an awesome day. RJ
