Hi Friends! Wow, so we just had all of this insulation delivered. Believe me, that's not toilet paper! Ha! We start insulating walls (inside and out) early next week. I'm over the top excited! I keep wandering around the house, trying to visualize how I'll use the space to make a warm, inviting home.
While I was wandering, Ron thought I might as well also visualize sweeping the floors, by cleaning up all of the wood chips that collected all over the place as he drilled holes for plumbing and electrical.
Speaking of electrical, Ron just got a nice comment from a 27 year electrical contractor, who told him his was by far the best diy electrical job he'd ever seen.
I present the electrical box. I think there are 39 breakers.
He's still at it, but plans are to finish up this week . . . and that's where I tell you what the "Big One" that's coming, is; It's the plumbing, electrical and framing inspection. Three inspectors will be arriving on Monday, and we'll either pass and be able to start putting up insulation, or we won't. After what the electrician recently said, I have high hopes to moving on to next phase.
And, I put this up because I can't stop looking at it, and enjoying it. I think this is going to be so pretty.
Well, that's it for now, friends. Thank you, so much for hanging in there while work is done on the slow, right now. Recently, one of you (Dirk) mentioned that 5 months goes by quickly. We both thought about that and were surprised that we've completed so much in such a short time. Very thankful to God for all of our good health and strength to build this home. Can't hardly wait until we're in it. Oh, and I'm grateful that fall has arrived and the weather is cooled down a bit. We were in the 40's this morning, here in Bloomington. Brrrrrrr. It's going to be time to get that hot tub in pretty soon too.
Love ya all. Have a great week. See you back here soon!
