Ohh boy. It's starting to come together quickly now. The garage door was installed late last week and the siding has been delivered and installation of that has begun. Also was surprised to find that the exterior doors now have door knobs. I meet with the builder on Monday and the finish guy to select some stuff (but I forget what exactly lol). I will be glad when I can spend the night in my sweet little house. I made 4 trips over to Indiana last week for a funeral and it sure would have been nice to just plant myself in the house for the week until my work was done. Hoping that by September I'm moved in.
At an age when I am old enough to know better, I moved beyond the raised beds of my suburban garden. In October of 2010 I acquired 15 acres of undeveloped land in Southern Indiana. Join me on this journey as I turn my land into a place of rest, retreat and refuge--a place to grow new things--a place called Wildbranch.

roof, drywall and soffit
How exciting. Already this week the roof has been raised and all the drywall has been installed. Today when I visited the guys were working on the soffit and Bob the Builder said the "finish guy" was coming tomorrow. I forgot to ask what the "finish guy" did. I'm assuming he will get the task of cleaning up all that left over drywall and then taping, mudding and sanding the walls in preparation for painting. Or maybe the "finish guy" is the guy who nails on the molding? I'll have to get back to you on this once I find out ;-) At any rate, things are moving along.

shhhhh
Went out to Wildbranch today to check out the progress. No workers where there, but the rough-in of the electric, plumbing and heating/ac is completed. Next week, Tuesday I think, the insulators will be there. While I was there it started to rain. Very peaceful and quiet and once the metal roof is on, it's gonna sound like heaven.
As I was leaving the inspector was on his way up. Let's hope he gave everything a thumbs up.
