View From The Inside Out - Drywall

All the drywall is up now and they are sanding this week. These shots are from the front room on the second floor. This will be a good spot to kick back with tea and a Hobnob.

Roof is Done

The steel roof is on, insulation is going on and drywall was loaded in yesterday. Hot week in the County.

Lookin' Good

In the past two weeks we've had all kinds of visitors, cut a trail, tarted up the cabin, built a wood pile, picked wild raspberries, met the neighbours, partied on Canada Day and been chased by mosquitos. The farmhouse is coming together nicely with real locking doors, windows, plumbing and electrical conduit and an almost done black steel roof. Everything is progressing well and the next few weeks are sure to be very busy.



Here is the 'Little House on the Prairie' cabin with a few finishing touches.

Windows and Steel Roof

The steel roof is coming on and the chimney is there. The windows came on Friday and the house is starting to get sealed up.



Even the deck is starting to be built.

***Also, a nature update - the eggs have hatched! There are now four baby killdeer birds running around the property chatting with their mom.

Really Coming Together

On the way back from the show in Kingston, we dropped in a for a quick visit. The shell of the house is now all fortified including electrical, pots, some plumbing, duct work. The roof is ready to go on this week as are the windows.



The killdeer mommy bird is always happy to see us...not. They have an amazing ritual to protect their eggs like these

Gables On

The gables are on.


Here's the view from the big gable in the centre.

The Top Floor Pops Up

The shape of the top floor is coming together. By the way, who is this great 'Tyvek' anyway? Was he one of the great players in the Russia-Canada '67 game who was immortalized with a line of superior home sealants?
