Summer

Summer is always a busy time, but this summer has proved to be more extra-challenging. We have been working diligently... nearly every night after work and all weekends. But the efforts are not in vain. We have made significant progress, moving ever closer to moving in! We know without doubt that we will be in no later than December 1st.... since that's the cutoff for the first-time home owner tax credit!
We are all wired up - upstairs & down. The A/C is in and all the insulation is up so we are now working in the cool! We are prepping for wallboard to begin going up this week. We've even started talking about paint colors!
Left to go: water line from road, septic installation, wallboard, frame closets, prime/paint, cabinets, flooring, trim, and fixtures...whew! Hopefully, this positive pace of progress will continue.

Someone told us that baby powder would keep the fiberglass from irritating our skin - it really did work!...
