There are a lot of last minute things going on at the FF, getting ready for the inspection to get the Certificate of Occupancy. Nothing too exciting, but lots of stuff.
We spent the weekend painting primer on the entire inside of the house. We wanted to go ahead and paint, even though it isn’t required [...]

After so many days, ok… weeks…of pretty miserably cold weather, we had a beautiful, mostly sunny day here Saturday. We have a few things to do at the house ourselves before the Certificate of Occupancy can be issued, and one of [...]

After all the stress of this experience, there’s no way anyone will budge me from the giant wooden house as long as I’m still breathing.
People ask us every day – “How’s the house going?”. Until this week, the answer has been “Great!” Not so much now. I think I see now why so many people [...]

The weekends are getting more and more busy… and tiring! We did finally finish the stonework on the end of the house this weekend. It’s beautiful, we are very pleased and think we did a pretty good job for a couple of old, tired people .
