How's the progress? New pics? :)
Hey! Thanks for checking in! Sorry it's been awhile here. I need to get my act together and do another update video!
Okay, so, what have we been up to?
•Finished all the wood ceilings and walls upstairs (still need to do most trim)
• Built the sub-structure of the balcony so I could install the siding on the gable end.
• Planted 372 seedlings with my new dibble bar (white pine, balsam fir, black spruce, tamarack, red oak).
• Started siding on April 20.
• Injured my lower back on May 20
• Fiddled around with electrical stuff and finished filling the panel while I couldn't lift things
• Fell down the stairs
• scored 50 truckloads of free fill resulting in the beginnings of our sweet winding driveway
• got back to siding on June 1
• Found out my wife is dead accurate with a miter saw!
Took advantage of a sweet sale at IKEA and bought our kitchen early.
A bullet that someone in Wyoming shot into a tree that was later milled into this board (now on our loft ceiling.)
Loft
Great horned owl through spotting scope.
Nesting goose on our pond. Her goslings hatched, but something ate them a couple days later. :(
Balcony!
Putting the flooring in the loft with my bud Jason.
Siding begins, starting with the hardest part...
View from the top.
On a favorite hill of mine north of town.
Built some cute little doors in the loft on a rainy day.
Hard part: done.
Shifting gears for a few days.
Planting the white pines on the hillsides.
Seedling number 372. Back to siding!
Ever since I started designing this house, everybody told me not to do my eaves this way because it would be too hard. Screw them!
And it's wood tick season!
Starting the west side. The weird shape on the front there is plywood that I screwed on, so that I can easily unscrew it when we put the breezeway on in the future.
Hydronic lines, water lines, and power for future garage sub panel.
Aaaaand I threw my back out.
Megan hunts the wild asparagus.
Filled the panel!
Driveway beginnings!
I think I'll just leave this here.
Tamarack planted last year is thriving!
West facing entry door still leaks with wind driven rain. I think I will have to live with this until we have a breezeway and this door faces north. I can't put a storm door on it until then because it's a fiberglass door and will warp in the heat.
All right, let's get back to work!
Megan, killing it!
It's hot out now.
2 down! 1.5 to go!
And that about brings us up to speed!
