Updates From the Weekend!

-

Insulation is being installed and pine wall tongue and groove is also starting! The goal is to get the house insulated and to install the HVAC. Once the insulation is up, our contractor will focus on installing the tongue and groove pine boards on the walls that the HVAC units will be mounted to so the house can be heated! Within the next week or two our house will be fully heated! We do have heat in the basement with the new propane heater. The insulation down there is completed. They have started the insulation on the walls on the second floor in the master bedroom. 

The deck boards have been installed now too! Hubby went up this weekend and I stayed home getting our house ready to put on the market. Hubby was not able to walk out on the deck yet since it snowed yesterday and the deck is snow covered. He could have shoveled the snow off of it but he decided not to go out there for the first time without me there. Next weekend we will be able to try out the deck for the first time together! 

Latest photos! 

Snow-covered deck!

Propane heater in basement! Nice and warm down there right now! They have plastic to prevent the heat from going upstairs until the insulation is done up there. 


First floor. Staging is in place for insulating the ceiling! 

Insulation started on second floor in the master bedroom!

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...

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! ...

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...
