Yesterday's Progress

 

The weather cooperated and a lot of work was done today.

The loft area is looking good and it hopefully, weather permitting, won't be long before a roof is on!

So, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and time for some relaxation.

Wishing everyone a peaceful, joyous celebration! 🎄

Continued Progress!

 The weather has been cooperating and the fellas are working hard to move things forward before the next potential rain and windstorm on Christmas Day.  Forecasters are saying we may have up to 60 mph wind gusts and accompanying power outages!  I guess we'll be hunkering down with Tara and Trooper for our holiday.  🐕🐕🎄🎅

The space for the living room 6 foot slider is almost framed and in place.

Front door and kitchen windows to the left.  Bedrooms and baths are to the right.

Stay tuned for more excitement!  Hugs to All and wishing you a very Merry Christmas! 💖

Old Man Winter finally arrives!

 Last Thursday was a doozy, weather wise.  The meteorologists couldn't quite get the forecasts right and kept changing them from 6-8" of snow to 3-6" and finally 1-3".  Well, we finally ended up with 5+ of beautiful, fluffy white stuff in some areas.  Needless to say, Bob and Jeff spent Friday morning shoveling snow off the deck in the bitterly cold temperatures, so they decided to wait til Saturday to do more work, and they got quite a bit done yesterday!

The forecast for next week is for warmer temperatures, but probably with some rain. Keeping fingers crossed for good working weather 😄

Stay tuned and we hope everyone is having a fun, relaxing Sunday!

Another productive day!

 Despite the chilly, windy weather, the guys got the deck finished and started on the walls.  

Today's gonna be a bundle up with long johns and warm hats day.  The forecast is for temperatures in the lower teens and more stiff breezes.  Good thing there's lots of trees around to somewhat buffer the wind!  Brrrrr  😊

Stay tuned to join us in the fun!

Moving right along

 This week's weather has cooperated nicely with warmish afternoons and little wind so Bob and Jeff have made great progress.  Unfortunately, the forecast for next week is not quite as dry and warm.  Good thing they have some indoor work to finish on another job.

Stringers are in...

and the wood for the deck is ready and waiting.

The well diggers hit a spring at 260 feet and we now have a fountain of wonderful, clear water!  The well and pump have been installed, but the overflow will be addressed later.

And so, a productive week ends.  Hoping for a better weather week than forecast.

The fun begins!

 

WHOO HOO!  Bob texted me a couple of pictures yesterday. He and Jeff are beginning the actual building process with putting the sil plates on the beam and the floor joists will follow shortly.  Of course, the daily temperatures right now are in the 20's and 30's - Brrrrr.

YAY!  The foundation is in and backfill is being done tomorrow!  Bob will be able to begin the building process by next week!  Quoting Sherlock Holmes - "The game is afoot"!

In the meantime, here's a good article on the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park.  We are on the quiet side and will provide lots of privacy, hiking trails, kayaking and just plain fun when you get here! Enjoy planning your visit to our beautiful State!
