Lots of Progress!

-

Just arrived in New Hampshire a little while ago! The subcontractor for the site work is working today to install the footings for the deck and farmers porch and is also performing a bit more site work under where the farmers porch will be! I suspect the deck and porch will be installed soon! I cannot wait to sit on my new deck and farmers porch for the first time! 






The walls for the first floor two bedrooms, two closets and bathroom are framed in! And the ceiling/upstairs section has also been framed in! The upstairs will only cover about half of the downstairs. The kitchen and living room area will be open to the roof! There will be one bedroom and bathroom upstairs. 

I suspect they will install the plywood flooring upstairs next, and then continue building the logs upward until they are ready for the roof! Not sure when they will install the stairs between the first and second levels, and the stairs to the basement but I’m sure once the second level has plywood down and can be walked on, our contractor will likely want stairs for carrying materials up there, unless they use staging. 

I will have to go back later to get better photos once the site crew is gone for the day. For now, this was the best I could do while they are there; photos through the window on the opposite side of where they are working.

    Everything is moving so quickly. I am sure to you it's taking a forever, but it looks really good Sis. I'm so happy for you and Jerry.

    Thank you, Sis! In some ways it seems like a long time but I am so impressed with our contractor and how he has pulled everything together so well, to date! It is moving along much faster than I thought it would! The progress is amazing! Glad we chose him for this! 👍❤️

Catching Up: Wildlife

We have a couple of game cameras down at the bottom of the field. We totally enjoyed the wildlife that these cameras captured!  This cutie has been around since the fall after we cleared the field out back and got the grass growing! We call her Nibbles, as she loves nibbling on the grass!  I can always tell it’s Nibbles when I see the dark spot on her inner right rear leg!  We had so many deer during the winter rut season!  Meet Gaylord Faulker! The coolest buck around! After he shed his large antler at the end of the rut, Hubby found it! So cool! When you find sheds in the woods you don’t know the deer they came from. First time we actually know the deer that it came from! How cool is that.  Here’s his antler! If we could find his short antler, the package would be complete! Once the snow melts, I’ll be out there searching for it! It’s a tough one to find, though!  This was when he shed his large antler! The before and after photos!  Another before an...

Latest Photos!

My son and his family went by our house in New Hampshire and we FaceTimed so we could see the house!  We weren’t able to get up to New Hampshire this weekend as we have been busy packing here to prepare for our move. My daughter-in-law also took some photos and a video and sent them to us. Here they are!  The glass doors have been installed in the bathroom shower units! Here’s the upstairs bathroom!  Here’s the downstairs bathroom!  They made a little more progress with the great room ceiling! They have to cut and treat the boards before they hang them. I believe this past week our contractor focused more on board prep. Once dry after treating them, installing them will be pretty quick!  Looks like the ceiling in the larger of the two downstairs bedrooms is done! I think this completes this bedroom as far as hanging tongue and groove pine wallboards! They will eventually add trim at the joints and around the window and will hang the closet and entry doors! ...

Weekend Visit!

I went up to New Hampshire this weekend and took multiple photos! Great progress is being made with the house so it is ready for us to move into early June! In about one month we will be moving in! I just can’t believe it! It’s just too good to be true! Our dream of a log cabin is coming true! Having a mountain view, property on a mountain river and 12.55 acres is also a dream! But the best dream come true is living 1.5 miles up the road from my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter! I will believe it on move in day! LOL! Oh, and another thing is that I get to keep my dream job too! While living here in eastern Connecticut, I have worked from home for a company in Rhode Island since August 2016, and I love my job! It was just approved on Thursday morning! Another dream is coming true! I know God has been helping me throughout all of this!  OK, time for photos!  This is my weathervane at my home in Connecticut:  As of yesterday afternoon, it is now behind my hom...
