Windows Are In!

-

They installed all of the windows on the front and side of the house today! Wow! Great progress! The only other window that was pending installation was the upstairs window facing the street and it looks like they might have installed it this morning! I am limited to photos from the security camera so I am unable to confirm. The rest of the windows were installed the end of last week. 

The basement window has been on hold because the company sent a window that was the wrong size and they are waiting for the correct window to arrive. Next will be the installation of the doors! We might need keys to get in the next time we are up there! In some of the security camera event videos, it appeared that the crew was working on the prep work for the sliding door on the front of the house that will lead to the deck once the deck is installed, as well as the prep work for our main entrance door to the farmers porch. 

It is supposed to rain this Thursday and Friday so our contractor is trying to get everything closed in prior to the rain! If the basement window arrives by tomorrow, and it fits, it likely will also be installed before it rains. The basement floor was pretty wet when they first started to put up the shell of the house because there was nothing blocking the rain from going in. But now the floor is nice and dry and the goal is to keep it that way. Hopefully they will be able to keep the rain from getting inside through the basement window and door opening. 

Most recent from the security camera! They had all of the prep work done prior to this to ensure proper size openings, which was the most difficult part of this work. 


Screen shot from the security camera this morning. It looks like they might have been using the lift to install the upstairs window facing the street this morning. If so, all windows for both first and second levels are done! 


Time lapse from the security camera. It will only trigger when someone goes near it so not all windows were captured for each and every installation. 

First of the front windows installed around 9 am! 



Second one installed around 9:45 am. 


Window on side of house installed around 10:10 am. The window to the left was installed the end of last week. 


Another window installed on the side of the house around 10:35 am. 


Two of the top windows were installed by 2:20 pm. 


And the remaining top three windows were installed by 3:40 pm.

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...
