It's September already?!!!!!!!

 Edited post: Pictures have been removed by blogspot.

Wow, time flies when your having fun. LOL ;-)

Since I posted last time we have passed electrical, plumbing and duct work inspections. :-)  The wall and crawl space insulation was installed. The drywall was done and Larry and Uncle Bill primed and painted the walls. And during all this we went to a wedding celebration and have had visitors throughout August. So needless to say it has been very busy and productive. :-) Here are photo's to bring you up to date of the work that has happened this past month......

Insulation: Since we have 2 x 4 exterior walls we put bat insulation and a 1 inch rigid board to give it more R-value. The shiny wall you see in the following photo's is the rigid board. It was a interesting look. ;-)



Then came drywall...


And then the paint! :-) The guys did a great job with the paint and they did it in only 3 days!!




Our company that was visiting this past weekend had asked what to bring. I told them, since the house was not done, they needed to bring everything for camping and we would supply the tent, LOL, the house made a great tent, matter of fact, it was pretty chilly in the night and the house has stayed nice and warm for them. We also installed a toilet in the Master Bathroom so they didn't need to come into the RV in the night. It has worked out great.

This next week the hardwood flooring will arrive and the following week they will install it. Carpet and vinyl will be the following week after that, hopefully. We have not ordered doors as of yet so that really has to be done soon before carpet and vinyl.  We just can't decide on whether to go with white doors or with wood with a natural finish. Our last house was decided in about two weeks, it is a bit daunting this go around. It's the big decision for the week. We have two weeks really before we are holding the project up, so, I'm not too worried about it.  The hard wood we chose is Red Oak #2 with a natural finish. I Love it cause it has more knots and variations in it. :-)  The carpet is a neutral beige with some flecks of different colors in it, too help hide the dirt. ;-)  We are putting vinyl in the bathrooms, utility room and canning room. The hardwood will be in the kitchen, dinning room, pantry, entry way from the garage and the front door. Carpet will be in the living room, hallway to bedrooms and all three of the bedrooms. After picking doors and ordering them the next decision is tile for the guest bathroom and the master bath. Lots to do still. :-)

Well, that is all I can think of for now. Thanks for stopping by and seeing what we are up too.
:-)

Day 54 Quarentine

Yea, you read that right, day 54. It's so crazy to realize it's been that long that we've been isolated. We are retired so even...
