are you kidding? Matt always has about 12 other projects going at the same time. Right now it's a house, a tractor, a barn, a couple of 80s, a sammy, a farm truck and a few other things I can't think of right now but he'll never get bored. This is kinda why we keep him around, for entertainment.
Ted, you know me too well.
What a great project! What are you going to do when it's done? Shop?
Right now the next thing on the list (you know once we actually get the house done) will be getting the power over to the barn and getting that cleaned up and ready for some wrenching. See to-do list as noted above
GSMTR is just around the corner...
I'm not sure what my condition is called, but like Ted said, I always have something in mind to do, but time or money always seem to run in short supply. Lately pretty much everything has been on hold while we work on the house. That is the priority and while that is going on we are living in about 900 SF and we are all about to go a little nuts trying not to trip over each other.
@Elbert sorry I been slacking on updates lately. The things happening these days are the ones that are not nearly as exciting to see.
They finished up the porches that Wednesday. We went by and looked them over the Sunday after Thanksgiving and they turned out really well (will post a couple pictures off my phone shortly)
They started doing rough in wiring last week. Nothing earth shattering there, just several thousand feet of wire and lots of little blue boxes. Also, Erin likes switches and I think we may win the award for most 4-gang switch boxes in a single house ( I think I counted 4 or 5 today when I was out there) I also went ahead and gave them the go ahead on a PEX distribution manifold system on the plumbing. I expect that they will start doing the rough in plumbing this week.
The siding was delivered today or yesterday so they will probably start on that this week I hope. I commissioned a local mill to cut me 15 - 10"x10" solid cedar posts for the porch, which should go up with the siding.
So if that all actually comes together, then the exterior of the house should be pretty well wrapped up in a couple weeks. Then it will look finished, while we wait on the tedious finish work continues inside.
As I noted above, I am working to get a rock saw out there to finish cutting my water line ditch so I can finish that up, and with that and a call to the propane company, I should have my commitments met and can just sit back and ride out the next few months til moving day.
I am on the computer, but will post up a couple of pictures that I have in just a minute.
Edit: My phone isn't being kind to me, looking like I need transfer them to a computer, but I got this one of the driveway end of the garage.
I had over 200 tons of stone delivered to fill the porches and we had some extra so went ahead and started working on the driveway.
Here is Hannah standing on about 5.5' of that stone filling the porch prior to concrete going in.
I will see if I can get some of the others I have up tomorrow.
