Midweek Update

Well, despite the rain of early summer, this Mid-summer has proven to be hot (80's) and humid. We are still getting the random late-day thunder storm rumbling through, but at this point those storms aren't affecting progress. The OSB guys have been working on the trim and siding, focusing on the south wall, and it looks great. The siding is quarter-sawn spruce, locally grown, with similar longevity characteristics to cedar. For cost reasons, we have gone for a 4" reveal, although a 3" would have been more traditional. The siding is pre-primed light grey, and we will be staining it a darker grey (possibly starting this weekend).

Almost all the rough stuff is done inside, with Paul expecting to wrap up rough plumbing by the end of the week. Next week, everyone will be back inside hanging sheetrock. Still on target. Once concern is still the well-- Faulkner came by on Friday to check things out, said he'd be back in two hours, and hasn't been back since. I'll follow up with him today, and I'm sure its just a matter of time, but...



Mike Thronson is pushing on getting the heater core complete. It's nice to see some mass on the main floor. He actually stayed overnight last night, so as to get another good full day in today. He doen't work on Fridays.

Lor and I have been urethaning windows, I've been wrapping up the loft floor, and whatever else needs to be done.
