Construction: January 2010 Archives
We'll post a more complete update soon, but the bathroom tile is going in and the porches are being framed up.
Fun stuff.

It's been an incredibly busy January, so it's been two weeks since we last visited the site. In the mean time;
The septic has finally been finished.
The radiant heat is still radiating gloriously.
The cork floor has been delivered (not installed).
The ikea kitchen has been delivered (not installed).
The first floor bathroom was just leveled and the floor tiled.
The basement has been sheet rocked.
The back-up heat system (a long story) has been installed and ventilation run around the basement perimeter (see photos below).
And at long last, the siding has been completed. It looks great. The vertical tongue-in-groove rough cedar planks were all stained in the basement and dried before going up on the house.

Take a look at the slideshow below. The window returns are finished, they look fantastic. We're really happy we kept fighting for that (yes there was some resistance).
This weekend we went over interior and exterior stain with Andy and Alissa. It's going to be the Cordovan semi-solid.
You can see the deck pier moldings poking out of the snow. Those haven't been poured yet. It's been a bit cold. Hopefully in the next week. All the utilities are finally hooked up, but despite the septic field having been prepped 4 months ago, it still isn't complete. So the water isn't hooked up yet. Hopefully the septic goes in this week as well.
